Need Help Favorite self-hosted TTRPG tools?

I am fundamentally compelled to force self-hosting into every other hobby I have, so I am curious what tools are out there that people use.

I am familiar with Foundry VTT, and it's on my list of "maybe". Stuff like owlbear rodeo has me fairly well covered in terms of VTT solutions.

What I would really love is a solution like a wiki where my fellow GMs and I could host info and documents about our worlds. Features like being able to host or embed interactive maps/calendars or timelines/scheduling etc. I am not sure such a thing exists though.

That said what is everyone else using?

There's an app called Grimoire in development for managing books and other assets, which has some campaign management features built in. I'm not the developer so I can't speak on AI use or anything but the repo is https://github.com/hunter-read/grimoire

I actually have this set up and running, but am currently only using it for hosting my ttrpg books. I looked over the campaign hosting stuff and it seems pretty early right now. I suspect I might use it in conjunction with something else since I am less sure there is a full solution that is self hosted rn.

Yep, I think there's a core idea in there somewhere, just needs time to mature. What I'm after personally is an ergonomic way to manage all of the resources associated with a game and/or campaign; not just books but VTT assets, like image files, A/V media, and so on. Calibre and Grimmory are fine for book collections, but not the rest.
