Comment on feedback on my next steps for self hosting

Tailscale is not a reverse proxy
There’s nothing you can’t “undo”. I think you’re overthinking this.
If you don’t need the extra storage, you don’t need a NAS.
You can run most of the services you mention on that OPi board right now as long as you have the system resources.

Thanks for the feedback!

I may not have labeled that accurately, I just plan to use Tailscale to access these services from specific authorized devices.

I meant “before I do something that is a pain to correct”. Like starting with the wrong OS or file system format.

My plan is to build a media server which will include 4k media, so I think my storage may need to grow over time… maybe TrueNAS is something I can add later if needed?

I guess the reason I was thinking of 2 separate machines is that I’ve heard using an OPi as a media server or NextCloud server will go really slow and potentially cause other issues. Plus I already have an old computer doing nothing right now, just needs new SSDs.

  Okay well:
  
  understandable
  
  stop worrying so much, it can always be fixed
  
  like I said, if you need the actual space, then make that plan
  
  you can host anything on anything. If it’s not moving as fast as you want it, THEN think about switching to something else

2)There’s nothing you can’t “undo”. I think you’re overthinking this.

Adding to this: Deploying via Docker (or podman or k8s or…) and/or installing every host via Ansible makes this even easier.
