Really depends on how often you need to touch your data. Tape has high upfront cost (4-5k $ for a LTO-9 tape drive + ~3,5 $/TB in tapes) but you don't have to worry about archive space anymore. Otherwise, NAS space (if you selfhost) is ~15 $/TB + a server which would also be slightly above 5k right now to store your 300 TB.

Your servers reverse proxy (Caddy, Traefik, Apache, Nginx...) redirects incoming requests to your application (Wordpress). You need to configure the reverse proxy so that it knows which request (origin / the subdomain) to forward to which destination on the server.

Safest way would be Wireguard. If you don't have a static IP or domain, use an DDNS service like Duck DNS.

4x 4k transcode with high bitrate simultanously is a big stretch for small systems like this. Transcoding HDR Tonemapping is demanding and keep in mind that not only video has to be transcoded but often audio as well which can be too much in terms of CPU performance.

For a powerfull transcoding NAS I would either go Asrock Deskmeet B660 with an Intel Arc A380 or build something out of an Asrock Deskmini B660/B760 with an i3-12100/13100 or i5-12400. They can hold 2x m.2 and 2-3x SATA drives for a reasonable price.

Would also recommend to get a basic prebuild 2-bay NAS in your case. Synology, Qnap and Asustor all have app stores and Docker support within their NAS so you can install additional software later.

- Asustor AS5402T Nimbustor 2 Gen2

- QNAP Turbo Station TS-262-4G

- TerraMaster F2-223

- Synology DiskStation DS224+

And so it begins ^^

Cloudron (free tier - 2 apps). Get a server, install Cloudron, install n8n from the app store. Done.

You can import Youtube playlists into Jdownloader and download for example your "Liked Videos". You can also use "Google Takeout" to export all you files, playlists and history to CSV.

I use Unraid because everything I want is built in. I also save a lot of power and hard drive wear. Due to the array architecture, all of the HDDs are spun down most of the time. Out of the box Wireguard and automatic remote flash backup are a blessing. Had a major headache from all the NAS OS I've tested over the years and have never regretted purchasing a license. Besides minor problems with macvlan I had zero issues with Unraid within 3 years of usage.

Your HDD will be fine for Unraid just keep in mind that your biggest disk should also be your parrity drive. I also started with an 256GB NVME cache and it helps a lot since no HDD must be running during idle. My Jdownloader download cache, Docker images and appdate remain permanently on the cache drive and I have a plugin to back up its content to the array.

Two Pi and a 1,6Ghz single core ARM NAS.....

This is around 20 watts idle and ~30 watts under load....nowhere near "high consumption". The N100 is just around 15 watts idle and more capable systems like a Ryzen 5 7600x idle at 25 watts. So lets say you swap everything to a N100 single system. This will maybe save you around 5 watts while idle which means ~40kw/h savings per year.

You do not have the computing power to run VM's/applications that could utilize 32GB RAM. Everything you mentioned could be run on a machine just at 4GB RAM. The only reason could be the use of ZFS and a lot of disks and TB's of space. You should be fine aiming at 16GB RAM.

In terms of OS. I use Unraid because its very easy to use and does not require you to have HDDs spun up like with traditional RAID. Saves me a lot of energy and wear on my drives. It is also capable of running Docker containers and various VMs.

Some people turn off their router at night or when they leave home. Does it make sense? Not really. Can you still do it? Of course...

Did you used this in production?

I run 3 Cloudron servers for many years and administer another 4 with some just beeing used inside a LAN.

cloudron looks like it was rather designed to pick a ready solution, am I understanding it correctly?

Most users will just pick apps from the store but others like myself use Cloudron to host their own services and custom app packages. It is actually pretty easy and there is a lot of help and templates at the Cloudron app packaging forum if you just start.

It also says, it keeps the systems up to date, which again is very high level

Cloudron uses neither Ansible nor Terraform and relies on scripts and crons. It uses automatic Ubuntu security updates, firewall and a bit of OS hardening to secure the plattform. You can take a look at the sources if you are curious.
