I have an Intel Nuc running Ubuntu, and an ASUS router that I installed the WRT Merlin firmware on. The NUC is running K3S, which I installed to learn Kubernetes, mostly. I don't really need it, tbh. NGINX + apps as systemd services would work just fine.
The most useful thing I use it for is exposing the test environment on my laptop to a local DNS so I can test on mobile and other computers. It also serves as a location to point backups to. Additionally, I point a sub domain off my website to a small service I expose for file sharing with friends. It's not accepting requests all the time though. Just when I have something to put up there.
Would like to put movies and music on it eventually to stream to the rest of my network.
