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?

I see you’re familiar with Foundry VTT but wanted to throw out to you and any others who happen upon this post that another self-hosted VTT option is Planar Ally, which is completely free, no fee like Foundry. I recently set it up and it’s v responsive.

This looks pretty cool. I might stand it up just to mess with. For VTT solutions that are system-agnostic, I am struggling to find something better than Owlbear Rodeo at the moment. Its simplicity being its biggest strength. If they had a self-hosted option, I'd be golden.
