I am getting into doing different things as a way to advance my knowledge and skills. I am currently learning docker along side learning Linux better.

I wanna have a home server I guess? I want a lot of storage space for my jellyfin server which I currently have running off a VPS.

I also have a matrix and lemmy instance running off a VPS. I’d like to do this all off of a home system that I can upgrade and fine tune to do what I want.

So, my problem is I don’t know where to start. My budget (without drives) is $600 and I kinda wanna do it today for the sales. I wanted to do a ITX build but keep running into issues so I’d also be fine with a atx. Just I want something small form factor…

I know this isn’t the right place but could I get some help, please?

    I’d recommend a look at r/Synology . My only regret is that I spent time with other devices and external multibay drive enclosures before going with it. I use it for a number of different things including a Plex server and backup for computers and phones. I’m happy with it, and prefer to avoid the tinkering aspect of DIY.
