Hey, I'm glad you found it helpful. I run a lot on my N100.

A DNS hole for privacy and ad blocking
Audiobookshelf for all my audiobooks, because screw Amazon and Audible
Copyparty for simple file management/transfer, as I don't need a full office suite like Nextcloud
Jellyfin for my films/series
Linkding for managing bookmarks
Navidrome for my music library

As well as some extra services mostly for utility reasons, a reverse proxy, some headless game servers, etc. The applications don't all do things at the same time, e.g. Jellyfin isn't sitting and transcoding 100% of the time, so the only time it's really loaded down is when a lot of people connect to a game server.

My only advice would be to maybe check the price/performance difference between the N100 and the N150. I was initially going for the N150 as well, but found that paying double for the marginal performance difference of the N150 just wasn't worth it for me. I spent the savings on more storage instead.
