I apologise for not being clear.

These are the specs of my NAS build:

• Node 804 case
• 16GB DDR4 RAM
• Seagate IronWolf Pro 2x 4TB
• 1TB nvme Samsung 970 evo plus
• Gigabyte H610M S2H V2 Intel H610 LGA1200 DDR4 Micro-ATX Motherboardd
• DeepCool GAMMAXX GT CPU Cooler A-RGB 120mm PWM Addressable RGB LED Fan Intel AMD
• 500W EVGA Power Supply Unit / PSU VAT INC
• Intel core i5-12400t QS 6c/12t Support ASUS ROG Strix B660-I Gaming WiFi LGA1700.
• I want to store all data onto the NAS, past projects, pics, etc.
• Set up automatic backups for Windows, Mac
• Set up media server (Jellyfin) with Arr apps using a VPN (I’m not sure how to set up a VPN with torrent client)
• Set up headscale to access my NAS from anywhere (also, I can’t find any tutorials).
• For 3-2-1 backups, I have decided to get an external HDD and use cloud storage.
• Self-host services such as Nextcloud, Immich and Bitwarden.
• VMs - Future
• Web hosting - Future
• Home assistant - Future

To be clear, I want to do all that; however, I have never done it before, so that any tutorials would be appreciated.

By “Dos and Don’ts,” I’m referring to the settings that should be adjusted for optimal performance, security, and privacy.

Also, any other recommendations would be appreciated.
