Building to this week. A few months ago, I was given a broken nas. I took it, thinking I've at least got 16TB of storage if it won't work. Fixed it. Saw the software includes docker, and then saw it has just 2GB ram and before I installed anything it would complain about low memory. Got 16GB, and installed it last weekend.
Spent the week installing and setting up Immich, navidrome, and integrating my other server running arrs.
16gb. So you got a $300 nas
Pulled 8 out of an old laptop, and bought 8 for about 30€.
