feedback on my next steps for self hosting (lemmy.world)

I'm still dipping my toes into self hosting and trying to figure out what services I would want to be always accessible from my devices vs those that could be awakened by LAN, and which services should be installed at the OS level vs as containers.

As of now, I just have an OrangePi 5 Plus running Home Assistant Supervised under Debian and nothing else. I'm hoping to expand the OPi a bit and also build out another PC (hardware unknown) as a NAS media server and NextCloud machine.

Before I start doing anything I can't undo, I'm wondering if I' on the right track with my proposed setup in the image, or if there's anything else I should consider?

Thanks for the feedback!

I may not have labeled that accurately, I just plan to use Tailscale to access these services from specific authorized devices.
I meant "before I do something that is a pain to correct". Like starting with the wrong OS or file system format.
My plan is to build a media server which will include 4k media, so I think my storage may need to grow over time... maybe TrueNAS is something I can add later if needed?
I guess the reason I was thinking of 2 separate machines is that I've heard using an OPi as a media server or NextCloud server will go really slow and potentially cause other issues. Plus I already have an old computer doing nothing right now, just needs new SSDs.

Okay well:

understandable
stop worrying so much, it can always be fixed
like I said, if you need the actual space, then make that plan
you can host anything on anything. If it's not moving as fast as you want it, THEN think about switching to something else

I dont think theyre worried, they seem to value informed decisions
again, true, but a bit of foresight can save hassle
