For my home-cooked meal apps, I use a stack that evolves for simplicity and maintenance ease. Currently, it's composed of Django with PostgreSQL, although a Python script with SQLite works better for smaller projects. My front-end preference is VueJS (still on version 2). Docker is crucial for reproducible builds. Recently switched from Nginx to Caddy for simpler SSL configuration. Some featured apps include a movie server, GPS logging server, timeline viewer, and an online recipe site using a custom static site generator.
