Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I've been through this whole process and wanted to make the best choice and explore all options myself. In the end my conclusion ended up being what most people online recommended after all: keep NAS and compute separate and that Debian is best for a Linux server. Now I have a Synology NAS and a 12th gen Intel mini PC. I run most of what you mention above and it works great.
I spent ages looking at so many sources to learn and get this set up. After I got it all done, I found this is one simple guide that basically covered the whole process and I really with O found this early: https://thecybersecguru.com/tutorials/self-hosting-guide/#essential-infrastructure-networking-security-and-access
