I found dietpi to offer a very friendly home server setup. RaspiOS is of course great if you want to do things manually but dietpi seems to have taken r/homeserver crowd very seriously.

I'm sure, but for anyone reading these comments thinking that they still need to compile the linux kernel to run wireguard on any debian distro: they don't. For 32-bit, at least. I have not tried 64-bit yet. I'm letting that one marinate.
