What do I actually need? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm in the means of buying a mini pc for selfhosting stuff. My main reasons are sailing the high seas for movies and series and hosting my families photos, videos to escape gdrive. I'm thinking about some kind of DMS / digitalizing paperwork and mail in the future.

I casually look into all kinds of software that could do the task and now I'm a bit overwhelmed. Is owncloud or an alternative enough, or do I need something more elaborated like TrueNAS? But all the NAS Foss stuff seems to run on their own OS. Can my Pirate Ship run on that? I feel like the diversity of solutions is making this very opaque for me.

I have a home media server (which may or may not host an arr stack) running on a 5 year old i5 NUC withb16Gb RAM and two USB external SSDs for storage.

So far it manages for the household (3 users) perfectly fine.

Sounds just like my usecase. What services are you using?

I'm running sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, jellyseer, jellyfin and craftycontroller (minecraft server) all running on CasaOS on Ubuntu server. I also have Twingate connector installed on the host to allow secure access from outside the home.
