This is an incredible amount of services! Where would you suggest someone with basic hardware begin with setting some of this stuff up, and what are some of the essentials to you?
My mission critical services are:
NPM/Caddy accomplish the same goal (reverse proxy with lets encrypt SSL) but I’ve had much better performance out of Caddy. Things that require web sockets in NPM are very hit or miss but in Caddy they work without any extra tweaking for me.
As for where to start, it depends on what you want to accomplish. Do you want to replace Google Drive/One Drive/Dropbox etc? Then Nextcloud is a fantastic place to start (coincidentally this is what I started with 5ish years ago.)
I prefer to have Proxmox as my hypervisor and then run whatever I need in VMs (and some VMs run docker containers.) Others prefer to have unRAID on baremetal and use their implementation of docker. There’s also TrueNAS SCALE which I haven’t looked into.
There’s also the world of the seven seas, matey, in which case the *arrs are my absolute necessities.
Ultimately, there are lots of options and it comes down to what you want to do with the hardware you have. I started off with a gaming PC and slowly added hard drives and an LSI card (which gets passed through to my unRAID VM.) But really all you need to get started with messing around is to figure out what you want to do first. The hobby has turned into a labor of love for me lol
