Help about self-hosting, a service with 100 + users (alien.top)

hello everyone I have a small service I have been developing as a side gig for the last year and I want to self-host since I got some new hardware and I want to dive in the world of self-hosting and DevOps more (I'm a dev)

for now, I have it setup in a couple of EC2 instances, but things are getting expensive and since I got some new workstations from a friend that they were decommissioning (they are moving to a new place and have a bigger budget for a data center) I got 2 Lenovo Workstation each with Ryzen 9 5900X 32GB RAM and 1TB NVMe

I want to set up HA for this service and maybe add some other computer as a NAS, so my question is how should I go about doing this I was thinking proxmox on both nodes and setup HA, but I think that needs a common Data store (probably will be using the NAS for this) and how should I go about setting up the HTTP server (I have some stuff that also runs in docker containers I was thinking having one HTTP server for managing all that traffic with DNS and stuff) and monitoring any help is much appreciated

but I think that needs a common Data store (probably will be using the NAS for this)

Note that this setup could be a single point of failure. For true HA, you might want to consider deploying two storage boxes with replication (SAN or NAS), or configure a hyper-converged infrastructure using solutions like VMware VSAN, Ceph, or StarWind VSAN.

true was thinking about using True NAS for this, but don't know if True NAS has anyway of doing replication with another node
