You could do a SearxNG instance https://searx.space/
I can second this. I have SearxNG running in a docker container by itself and it requires no real maintenance of any kind. I do have a cron job that updates the docker container once per day, but it ran for ages on the same version without issues.
Is this a Tor Exit type situation? Where my IP will be flagged with whatever someone is searching? If not this looks incredibly easy to set up!
This is the first I’ve heard searXNG. This is really cool!
Yes agreed I have been looking for a new search engine I was using something like 4get or something but it wanted me to do a captcha every day.
I guess you can self-host privacy respecting front-ends like Piped, LibReddit, Invidious, etc.
end to end encrypted file sharing server, Send: https://github.com/timvisee/send-instances/
jitsi conference room server, or matrix chat server.
you could run an Oxen node for the Session onion messenger, or a relay for the SimpleX messenger. these are especially important things we need to reduce decentralized messenger dependence.
PrivateBin (pastebin) instance
As the others have said, a Google (search engine) replacement will have the most "privacy returns". Take a look at whoogle and searx, or if you can mak them switch to another search engine like duckduckgo
Monero node, i2p instance.

The greater good
You can run a monero node, tor relay/bridge, etc.
Already running a monero Node in two locations along with a Tor Relay on the one that allows it :D
Nice :)
