Selfhosted

Hi everyone, I am trying to repurpose a Ryzen 1700 system for a home server, but not exactly sure what the best solution for my needs is, and how to find additional resources.

More context, I have 4 8th hdds (wd blue drives; would’ve preferred reds but, alas). I intended to run these in raid10, but open to other ideas also. These are connected via sata directly to Mobo. I’d like to selfhost a nice NAS stack, to include: my own office 365 / google docs thing, file storage, and storage and playback of music and video files. I’d like to run jellyfin and a myriad of ‘arr things. Please send any and all suggestions. Should all of these run on a single virtual machine?

Alongside this, probably in a separate virtual machine, I’d like to run a home assistant instance with some mild transcoding (I think) going on in regards to some cameras I have around the house.

I also think I’d run tail scale to vpn back in?

What I’ve researched so far is proxmox and casaos (lightly). Casaos is alluring mostly because it seems like an easy on ramp, with lots of visual configuration. I enjoy CLI config, but visual configs are easier to discover settings and options that might not occur to me. I’d ideally favor stability here, as I like to tinker, but don’t have a huge amount of time for it.

Am I on the right track with all this? Any pitfalls? Any must have self hosted software I should be sure to include? Should I set up the storage pool in proxmox first as raid10? Any general advice? Words of encouragement? I’ll take it all.

Apologies if this is the wrong forum — if so, please feel free to delete (and direct me hopefully to a more appropriate locale).

Edit: forgot to mention, system also has a slower ssd boot drive, and a 1070 I plan to pass thru as needed.
