You could but a NAS, or build one and install unraid on it. It should take a day or so of tinkering to get it working, and you could always sync your data to a cloud backup provider.

Easier to use imo. TrueNAS would be better, but takes more time to learn how to use.

that would only handle the backups (and possible data loss) right?
all the tinkering about the specific services is the same on unraid isn´t it?

A lot of NAS are capable of hosting containerized services. The Synology DS series, for example, can run everything you’ve mentioned and so much more. For a relatively gentle into check out mariushosting.com

As a point of reference, I built a 32TB Synology last year. I took me an afternoon to get it done, plus set up Plex media server, all the arrs and friends, a backup server and a couple other things. Since then maintenance has consisted of remembering to hit the “update containers” button once a month or so. I should probably automate that part but just haven’t bothered yet.

Unraid is pretty simple to use. It has made setting up my services easy with just a little bit of googling for trouble shooting.
