Hello guys,
I spend some hours searching on the web and reading articles and different forums about Home Servers and I think I would like to build one by myself. I don't really like the idea of Synology or QNAP because of their restrictions. I tried to create some configurations for myself and I want to ask your help with choosing one. I wanted them to be future-proof and expandable in the future.
My main usage will be:
And one for a bit more money, I called that "Medior":
Just some notes:
Please feel free to critique my configs and add recommendations to be better, every help is thanked.
And thank you in advance!

My main usage will be:
- TrueNAS Scale with accessible from the internet (maybe in a VM in Proxmox or ESXi?), I would use that to store private data and the data of my research group (this is why it should be reachable from the internet). I want to use Traefix or Nginx and Cloudflare for security and Next Cloud for Access on different devices (laptops, mobile, etc.)
- Running my own website/web app --> this could run in a separate VM
- VM with Windows 11 to run different simulations (like electrical grid current flow) on Win environment
- Maybe some Plex/Jellyfin server in the future for 4-5 people

Just some notes:
- ASRock states on its website, these MoBos are working with ECC, but I want to show you guys first.
- I can leave mITX behind and get a Fractal Define if necessary.
- I would like to use the ECC if possible, but most of the server MoBos are too expensive.
- I read here that, if I want proper ECC with Ryzen, I should get one without APU or a PRO G version.
