So, I currently have an old windows PC using a bunch of different, old disks in storage spaces for a Plex server. Some are wd, Seagate, Hitachi, some are 3.5, some 2.5, some upwards of 10 years old, and the whole array is about 8tb. Windows is installed on a small SSD, the disks are all linked and it's running Plex, sonarr, radarr, tautulli, qbittorrent and nordvpn. I also use it to store misc. garbage, but nothing is irreplaceable or mission critical. My problem is that storage spaces with parity is incredibly slow and without parity isnt much better. There's also issues with split tunneling in windows still.
I'm looking at replacing the whole setup with a Pentium/i3 nuc with a usb-c DAS enclosure. I'd like to be able to remotely access at least qbit/sonarr/radarr remotely using nzb360, and I do not want to route Plex through a VPN. I'd also like to be able to keep everything updated without much downtime
What's my ideal setup here? I'm thinking some flavor of Linux, zfs and docker, but I'm unsure of the specifics or the setup for them
