I'm looking for suggestions. I have a rack in my office with up to 4U space available. I'm looking to set up a backup and storage solution to try and break free from services such as dropbox & google drive. I'd also love to run a few other things like homeassistant and potentially even Klipper for my 3d printer. I'd also like it to be reasonably quiet if possible.

So what would you recommend? I could get something like a dell poweredge and add HDDs + replace the fans with noctua to keep the noise down or go with a dedicated NAS like synology. Any other recommendations?

So I am a total amateur, but i set up a TrueNas server that hosts my Plex server, then set up a linux VM to host a PiHole.

I also set up nextcloud vm on that machine too, i wanted to autobackup my phone pics and have a sync'd, shareable calendar with the family.

Nextcloud was the biggest pain in my ass and i never truely got it working as advertised. I ended up scrapping that part just because of how god-awful nextcloud was, and god forbid you try and update it to the most recent version.

I did the same as you, but wanted native performance on my Linux machine, so what was awesome was I was able to export my zfs pool from truenas and spool up a Linux distro and import it. There's a project called cockpit and it has a zfs plugin which makes it easy to manage like truenas, but you can also use it as a whole ass pc at the same time
