I am planning to Self Host on a QnapNAS I was gifted but truthfully I am at a loss to how one does that. I know how to install and run but not on a NAS. Could anyone help and explain?

I'd agree, but on the basis that OP doesn't know where to start, using the NAS built in apps is probably the way to go.

I assume the QNAP has some actual performance.

But my experience with NAS apps is they kind of suck, and I've quickly run into limitations with them.

Still, they do have their place.
