#home-server

Tumblr, I'm thinking about running a home server for cool stuffs, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm gonna put on it. So far I've got:

Nginx setup

A Matrix home-server

Plans for an arcade-style high-score board for my Tower of Hanoi clone (https://notalakelurk.github.io/tower-of-hanoi/)

and, that's about it.

I might make some more simple web-games with scoreboards, but I'm not yet sure what I might recreate. Maybe I could do something with Langton's ant / Turmites or Conway's Game of Life with configurable inputs? Please tell me if anyone has any ideas whatsoever of what I might host.
