  • I’m no expert, I just run a small home server and a vps, so take everything with a grain of salt these are just my personal experiences/opinions:

    If you want to forget about it maybe a LTS Debian version might be a better choice for the OS? But I have no experience running Arch, so maybe that doesn’t matter much.

    I pretty much followed this video to set up cockpit and nginx proxy manager: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hJosY_M0I4 He does a good job of explaining.

    As podman containers I host:

    Navidrome for music, there are a ton of players you can use for your devices. I use Feishin on my Linux PC and Steamdeck and Symfonium on my phone.

    Jellyfin for shows and movies

    An enshrouded and an ARK survival ascended server

    A teamspeak 6 server

    Audiobookshelf for podcasts and audio books (I think it can also host ebooks but I’m not sure)

    You can set up cron jobs or systemd services to take care of updates, personally I prefer the systemd way since it’s running on my system anyways and I’ve alley gone through the effort of learning it.

    Also cockpit offers some good tools for that.

    Not sure about documents but you could host nextcloud or cryptpad for this. I have a hosted nextcloud with hetzner as I don’t trust my own server admin skills enough to not accidentally fuck up all my documents.
