Dedicated NAS or Nextcloud server for home lab? - eviltoast

I’m looking for suggestions. I have a rack in my office with up to 4U space available. I’m looking to set up a backup and storage solution to try and break free from services such as dropbox & google drive. I’d also love to run a few other things like homeassistant and potentially even Klipper for my 3d printer. I’d also like it to be reasonably quiet if possible.

So what would you recommend? I could get something like a dell poweredge and add HDDs + replace the fans with noctua to keep the noise down or go with a dedicated NAS like synology. Any other recommendations?

    Scrapped nextcloud for the same reason. I was able to get it running the way I wanted, but goddam if nextcloud didn’t irrevocably break if you so much as cut a loud fart near the server.

    Updating nextcloud was out of the question.
