I build myself a home server last year, without any particular plan just to try it. Specs: Ryzen 7 3800X, 32 GB ECC RAM, 2 TB HDD and 500 GB SSD. I use it to run PLEX, Torrent, TrueNAS, WireGuard, NextCloud, and my side projects.
The server runs Proxmox, some of these services are separate VMs, others are running as Nomad jobs. I also have a dedicated development VM which I can access remotely through the VPN wich is pretty nice.

For my usage so far yes, dev VM has around 60 GB, others around 30-40 wich is plenty to install everything. For Nextcloud I mount NFS volumes from TrueNAS which has 2 TB HDD.
