Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.

Yep, looking at doing the exact same thing myself, albeit smaller scale to start with. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the ride despite the cost, because I know I'm headed down the same path, lol. Cheers.
Welcome to the fun!
If you need any guidance from this idiot, feel free to reach out.
The best general advice I can give is if you want something reasonably large and flexible is to start with Unraid from the outset - I mucked around with a good number of alternatives, with all the hassle that involves before finding this straightforward, super-flexible solution. Otherwise, maybe look at a synology-type appliance for something smaller-scale and less versatile.
Thanks! If I can be candid, I almost asked for your best piece of advice in my previous comment, so I appreciate it. I've heard great things about both - Synology especially people always seem to have good things to say. Still doing the research and deciding the best hardware path for the use case at the moment, so I'll be sure to keep you in mind and pick your brain sometime!
No worries!
The upside of synology (and I say this without having used them) is simplicity, and low power usage at the cost of flexibility.
On unraid, I can toss in extra drives when I like (or remove them with slightly more hassle), and spin far more up, including VMs.
Feel free to check in whenever though.
