Most of them are open source services like Jellyfin, Paperless-ngx, Uptime Kuma and so on (you can find more like these at r/selfhosted). And a few others are running my personal projects like this blog. One issue you will eventually encounter when running a lot of containers is figuring out if any of them are down. Sure you could run the docker ps -a command and use grep to filter any containers that are down, but this takes time and its kinda annoying to go through the text output line by line.
