Sort of off topic but is there a walk through like this for installing and running a server that serves up points of interest within a bounding box?

More generally - I find the OSM community super fragmented - am i missing a well organized inventory of the different open source efforts?

It can be stale or contain weird opinions, but the OSM wiki certainly serves as an adequate inventory (maybe not perfectly organized).
