I’m looking to get into the selfhosting world and I’m not sure what machine to self host on. I’m thinking about getting something a bit beefier than a raspberry pi, likely some sort of NAS server but I’m not sure yet.

I mainly want to use it to store and host media files and backups, but it would be nice to have the option of running some sort of bot or script in the background without any problems.

I’m happy for suggestions, but if there is some sort of guide out there already so I can do my own research that would be cool too, and perhaps something that could be linked in the sidebar of the community?
