Yunohost is okayish. Some apps sadly are badly maintained and therefore upgraded with more delay than I considered acceptable (but that has improved afaik)and integration into a single "look and feel" is a bit lacking. Nevertheless it's solid in the end.
If you are willing to pay something Cloudron may be an alternative for you as well - very well maintained product, good support team and rock solid from my experience - and it's a non-US/non-China company. (German to be exact) But it costs money for more than 2 applications. I nevertheless went with them - I don't self host as a hobby, I self-host because I want shit to work. Between job and family I have no time to fiddle around with things and keep everything updated on a short notice. I have project where I can do that, but they are not something my family or myself depend on. (And they integrate nicely with Cloudron as you can add "custom" Apps/use it as a proxy and OpenID Provider)
Nice! I live in Germany and your situation looks similar to mine. I started with Linux 20 years ago and bought a Synology about a year ago. I have my most essential services (backup, photos, Media server and paperless) running on that machine in my local network. I started with a small VPS and a blog after this, to see if I could handle managing a server. It went well.
We have a small cabin we share with others and I wanted to set up some basic services like a calendar. Went across a post about yunohost and gave it a try.
Have a look at Cloudron as well,then. It's free for 2 Apps and Johannes (the founder) is a fairly nice guy from Bavaria.
Anyway,yeah. I have a different post here what I self host (which doesn't even include everything...) so it's a slippery slope.
