TTRPG Players and DMs, what's in your self hosted toolbox?

Personally I’m running Foundry and have been meaning to spin up Owlbear 1.0 now that it’s self hostable - but I feel like there’s more i could be doing. Is anyone aware of a self hostable character sheet/character builder? I suppose i could go next cloud for storing folders and files but I don’t think anyone would use it - what self hosted services are you using at your tables?

Not really the topic, but why do you want to run owlbear alongside foundry? It seems like a slimmer alternative rather than something to use in conjunction.

To actually answer the title post I just run foundryvtt and I have a bunch of RPG manuals backed up in Nextcloud so I guess that too

Two reasons: Foundry has been feeling more and more bloated and still doesn’t work well on tablets or mobile, while Owlbear does; and Foundry doesn’t like to play nicely with cloudflare tunnels, and owlbear does from what I understand.

That's fair. I can't say it feels more bloated to me, but the tablet/mobile issue is definitely a big one if relevant for your players.

Do you run Foundry in Docker? Where does Foundry not play nice?

I've run Foundry + CloudFlared in Docker with 0 issues for some time.
