Comment on NAS / NAS + server? Unraid, Proxmox, Intel, AMD? Looking for guidance.

My answer may not be quite as helpful for you, as you said you are a software dev and would probably pick up the more advanced options easier than me.
But for me, I was asking extremely similar questions to you a few months ago (still my only post on Lemmy, lol). I ended up trying unraid, proxmox, and truenas.
I went with unraid and have no regrets. It’s been super easy and I now have the all in one server box I’ve wanted for years.

One of the things I learned as a dev is not to overcomplicate things - my profession is very guilty of this and it bites us in the ass in the end 100% of the time. I’m slowly learning not to do that, thus, Unraid :) thanks for the info.
Do you have any issues with downtime? Are updates troublesome?

I haven’t been running it for too long, as I just started putting this together a few months ago and took a while to decide. No issues with downtime though. Updates have been super easy with Unraid so far.
