What do I actually need? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm in the means of buying a mini pc for selfhosting stuff. My main reasons are sailing the high seas for movies and series and hosting my families photos, videos to escape gdrive. I'm thinking about some kind of DMS / digitalizing paperwork and mail in the future.

I casually look into all kinds of software that could do the task and now I'm a bit overwhelmed. Is owncloud or an alternative enough, or do I need something more elaborated like TrueNAS? But all the NAS Foss stuff seems to run on their own OS. Can my Pirate Ship run on that? I feel like the diversity of solutions is making this very opaque for me.

Not really answering the whole question, but you really don't need a lot. Currently running jellyfin, a blog and some other fun dockers on a raspberry pi (clone), with an external nas though a large USB would do. Start with just "retrieving" movies to your local disk and think what else you need.

want to access movies between devices? Get some cheap server (I.e some second hand computer) or a NAS
want to have some snazzy UI? Get jellyfin
Want to be able to expand storage? Set up some raid configuration or similar.

Good story about overcomplicating things

“retrieving” from ripping my personal DVD and BluRay collection?
