That’s probably this type of setup I would want but I miss the technical know how, so if you have a cool beginner guide
Here is the video I followed for SWAG. Note that this (and most of IBRACORP's guides, which are all fantastic) uses Unraid as the OS, which automates a lot of the processes.

And here is a written guide by the same group to go with or replace the video if this is more your speed: https://docs.ibracorp.io/swag-2/
I'll be honest, even for "beginners" (which I was when I started this) this is still a lot to take in. Let me know if you run into any specific questions and I can try to help you.
I used several separate guides plus help from a friend. Check out space invader one's YouTube channel. I'm not at my pc right now but I can gather some of the tutorials I used when I get back.
