I do infrastructure stuff professionally and wanted to not manage that at home so just went for a Synology.
Just depends on how DIY you wanna go. I’ve had my Synology for years and it’s needed zero ongoing maintenance and has never had any problems so I’m pretty satisfied with it.
This is pretty much where I'm at.
The Synology gives a good balance of shit just works and the ability to tinker.
The built in software is rock solid and everything just works. Then with docker and vm support, you can tinker and self host to your hearts desire.
With that said, it does come at a price.
I claimed mine as a business expense and by this time next year it’ll have been reimbursed. Totally worth it.
