Homelab NAS / Media player (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm building a desktop that I want to use both as a LAN server and a media player by the TV.

I've been looking into distros and or solutions that would best solve it, and not gotten too far. Aiming for Debian currently, and testing if openmediavault can be also ran with kodi. I want me and my two roomates to be able to access files on it, and to use qbittorrent on the pc directly. acessing it outside of our house is not a big priority but would be a nice plus

Question is: is there some distro or solution that is for me, and I just don't know it - and if not, do you have any suggestions for my setup? :)

(Pc is gonna be run with Ryzen 5 3600x, GTX 1080ti, 16gb Ram, 128SSD for OS and, 5 3TB HDD in raid.)

Hi, I actually started my homelab few months ago. I learned a few things:

go for docker or a container solution, makes everything a little bit nore professional
with docker, install everything with Dockge. It will help you to install everything in a nice way and you can update the images easily
you can install homepage (thats the name of the package) and have your very own starting page.
