What do you have, what do you recommend, and why?
Asking as I’ve got a lot of spare components lying around that I’m planning on turning into a NAS. If it doesn’t work out I’ll buy a pre-built enclosure and reuse the drives.
I can highly recommend an Asrock j5040 board. It is power efficient and enough for all Docker images I throw at it.
The onlydownside is, that it only has 4 SATA ports and 1 pci x1 connector, makes expanding difficult.
Currently running: Nextcloud, vaultwarden, jellyfin, photoprism, immich and a few other container
