Pihole (if that service goes down, everyone in my house gets mad at me)
Jellyfin

Everything else is a nice to have, not essential

The arr family with a torrent client is great for feeding Jellyfin. If you are a developer, you can host your own shit there too. Game servers for playing with family and friends (so far Minecraft, Terraria, Project Zomboid, V Rising). I like to host a bunch of different telegram bots I wrote for fun. Discord bots are another interesting side. I also run some automation runners for helping out with testing, building and deploying my projects.

Focus on your needs and what you want to improve of your online life, there is probably a project you can self host for it.

Gamevault: To share Games with my friend's especially modded games. Jellyfin: Sharring Movies/Series/Music Immich: Saving my Pictures Pi-Hole + Unbound: Ad-blocking

Gamevault is cool, but I wish they weren't windows-only on the client side. Lutris integration would be excellent.

Omada software controller handles my wireless access points. HomeBridge lets me control various things from my iPhone, without having to use 5 poorly-made apps.

Essentials? Difficult to decide, it depends on why you are even selfhosting in the first place.

At a first glance and looking at my attempt at a homelab:

some sort of basic web service (eg.: nginx + PHP setup)
some sort of repo manager service (I do Fossil, but I hear most people use eg.: Gitea)
XMPP server
Jellyfin server
Minetest server

Arr stack, Jellyfin, and Nextcloud + some dashboard.
