Great news! I started my selfhost journey over a year ago, and I’m finding myself needing better hardware. There’s so many services I want that my NAS can’t handle. And I unfortunately need to add GPU transcoding to my Jellyfin setup.

What’s the best OS for a machine focused on containers and (getting started with) VMs? I’ve heard Proxmox

What CPU specs should I be concerned about?

I’m willing to buy a pre-built as long as its hardware has sufficient longevity.

    My Synology is compatible with an expansion unit and can support two of them. Check if yours can do the same for the storage aspect.
