Docker
A Docker🔗 is an application that runs in its own sandboxed environment with all its dependencies. It can use as little or as many resources as the system has. The important thing about a docker is that if one crashes, the system is still functional. Typically with a regular application, if it crashes, the entire system crashes or becomes unresponsive.

Portainer is a graphical user interface-based Docker Container orchestrator🔗. This means you can deploy dockers via a web interface rather than YAML text files on the terminal.

WordPress is a GUI-based website builder, or WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get)🔗 editor.

Nextcloud is a self-hosted indexed-file🔗 management and sharing system, similar to google drive.

With a reverse-proxy🔗, you can make Nextcloud accessible anywhere in the world and have your own cloud drive, managed and controlled entirely by you.
YOURLS is a free, open-source link shortener that you can host and attach to your domain. This way you do not have to remember long links and can use or share out shorter ones.

YOURLS is completely yours, and customizable with plugin support such as SLEEKY🔗 to give it a modern design, frontend and backend.
Apache Guacamole is a swiss-army knife, dockerized Remote Access Server🔗. It allows you to connect to clients with SSH, Telenet, RDP, and VNC via the web browser.
