I've got 2x 8 bay NAS now (onsite and offsite) for my data. One at home and another at a friends for DR.
Running ProxMox for the hypervisor w/ ZFS and running either native Docker images or LVM's on ProxMox for all of my services. I went down the route of using ProxMox because I want to be able to build my on k8's cluster on my own hardware.
Now if you've not got much experience with ZFS, it's very easy to get your head around but you need to get your head around the basics.
The documentation in the link below is enough to get you started on ProxMox. The documentation below is some of the best I've ever read.
If you want to go down the route of something a bit more off the shelf for your OS. I wouldn't use anything else but UnRaid. It's got cheap licensing but it's so fucking easy to use and has an awesome UI.
