Thanks to this community I've learned and I'm feeling inspired. I've loved having an NAS for the last few years, but it's woefully under powered for what I'm using it for these days.

So I've ordered some basic PC parts, gonna build a basic setup using an old CPU I got lying about and try the NAS OS I saw talked about on here recently.

TrueNAS looks like a good option with only slight fears it'll go down the well known path to the dark side like so many free options before.

In any event, I'm looking forward to adding Nextcloud and Jellyfin, to trying out Docker and generally having more control over things.

Thanks again to you all for informing and inspiring.

I'll be back if I get questions!

So what's the threshold for 'mini' vs 'you need to stop'...? Number of hosts, or number of containers, or number of public services, or...

When you lose a system. It responds to ping; all services are up, but you can't find the damn thing.

So, not a number so much as a limit to your organizational skill+effort.
