@Piatro@programming.dev Really depends on your budget and how much you want to tinker. I've got multiple synology's (1821+ 1515+), along with a decently large truenas server running on a 36bay supermicro. And some windows boxes running drivepool.
The synologys are great NAS first devices, rock stable, I do some light Docker stuff (homeassistant, scrypted, etc.) and use them as NVRs but they have anemic CPUs. I spend very little time each month maintaining them and getting them to work. They're just set and forget.
The truenas SM box is much more powerful CPU/RAM and storage wise but I spend probably 3 times more hours getting stuff stable, updating, managing performance, and tinkering.
Windows stuff is set and forget but requires much more time and frequent patching.
