Build Help

[maelzik]

Hello! I am relatively new to self-hosting in general and have been wanting to build an unRAID server after exploring docker and self-hosting on my own Windows-based PC.

 

My desires for its use are:

• Hosting game servers for friends (1-5 people) for games such as ARK & 7 Days To Die
• Plex Streaming (and associated *arr services) both locally and externally to some friends (about 4 people total) 4k doesn't really matter to me yet, but it might in the future.
• General Data storage & maybe PC/Phone backups
• I would also like to make it a smart-home hub, but I haven't looked into it yet.

 

This is a build I have sort of thrown together but I don't know if it's overkill / underkill / hilariously wrong and would sincerely appreciate any advice or feedback.

I do know it is missing hard drives, I have 4x10TB WD Reds I would use that I bought a month or two ago.

 

Again, any help is super appreciated, I feel like my inexperience is certainly showing but from what I have seen this community is amazingly supportive. I appreciate any and all feedback even if it's just a link to self-guided research pages.
