https://perfectmediaserver.com/ This is the guide that really gave me the confidence to take ownership of my self hosting. My setup now is simple (I use ucore from the universal blue project as a rock solid base) and I use small tools that I can understand (snapraid, mergerfs, borgmatic) to make things robust as well as podman and quadlets (docker also works great) to enable easily hosting basically anything I want through containers.
