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.

This has been my path so far, nearly to a T. Got an old laptop, installed endeavour with a very light DE and attached an external drive and started messing with *arrs and jellyfin and bunch of other things.

The only downside is that my family now relies on that for watching so I'm more careful of not breaking the stuff that works.

Got another laptop that had no use so I started playing around on it. Installed Debian and CasaOS on top to test if that would be a nice alternative.

The only real issue is the lack of time to spend on this.
