Is this suitable for a first home server to run a media server, nas and a few containers? (alien.top)

Just wanting to know if this would be able to run a small nas mainly for holding films, tv shows and music and then using use for a plex/jellyfin. As well as a few other docker containers. Would the best os for this use case be unraid and their apps feature or would proxmox be best and then run everything virtualised or something else?

(I would upgrade the amount of RAM)

Oh that’s exactly what I got. Currently I got 16gb of RAM in mine, but I do plan on swapping to 64gb soon. I put a 2.5” SSD in mine, and it also has one spot for a m2 drive.

I have proxmox running on mine with several containers running. Jellyseer, jellyfin, radar, sonar, bazar, qbittorrent, watchtower, and gluetun (all running in an Ubuntu server with docker). I also have an lxc container with pihole running on it, though it’s just my backup for that. Lastly I have a Win10 VM that I use for software that doesn’t play nicely with the rest of my devices.

It’s a great little box, mines the micro version and its served me well for 6 months now. All this with just 16gb of ram has been wonderful.
