Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Storage software with the features of Unraid but runs on Debian with cli interface?
You might want to consider the previously mentioned MergerFS and SnapRAID, or MDADM and LVM for your setup. OpenMediaVault [https://www.openmediavault.org/ is a solid choice in this regard. Additionally, if you're planning to run something like Proxmox, you could look into deploying Starwind CVM on top of it. Pretty much like in this guide: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/resource-library/starwind-virtual-san-vsan-configuration-guide-for-proxmox-vsan-deployed-as-a-controller-virtual-machine-cvm/ .

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.
So I'm working on a similar setup with an ancient desktop my in-laws were getting rid of. I installed OpenMediaVault directly to the hard drive (it's so old that I assume it wouldn't work too well as a hypervisor), with a 4TB external HDD attached. OMV supports Docker by means of a plug-in and I'm running a Jellyfin container with no issues at all. I'm still manually downloading everything to the HDD but *arr containers are my next step, as well as setting up a gluetun container to route all that through a VPN.
- Best NAS OS for easy expandability

New home lab
The second is storage. If you need any of the storage sharing, deploy NAS OS as the VM in proxmox, like Starwinds SAN and NAS (https://www.starwindsoftware.com/san-and-nas) or OMV (https://www.openmediavault.org/), or TrueNAS (https://www.truenas.com/). As you mentioned, you need to cross-flash the perc into IT mode and pass through the controller into VM, but you need a separate from the controller drive for proxmox to be able to PCI-E passthrough the card into VM. Then, configure software RAID and reshare the storage to the proxmox via NFS/iSCSI (that will improve your skills in storage stack and storage protocols).
-
What OS should I run?
If you want all that in one, I would go with Proxmox and everything else as VMs or containers on it. NAS can also be run as a VM. For example, Starwinds NAS: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/san-and-nas or openmediavault: https://www.openmediavault.org/. I would try to add more RAM for sure though.

The early 2000s were Wild!
I have Open Media Vault installed on a Raspberry PI. I choose that because also wanted to run some docker images and wanted something cheap. However, if youβre not tech savvy I recommend Synology.

What's the best software to use on a home built nas?
To build a NAS, you can set up a Linux VM with LVM, ZFS, Btrfs or deploy a pre-built solution like Openmediavault https://www.openmediavault.org/, EasyNAS https://easynas.org/, Starwinds SAN&NAS https://www.starwindsoftware.com/san-and-nas-free to passthrough the direct-attached storage to NAS VM, create a pool, and expose it to your network as SMB or NFS file shares, or iSCSI storage.
-
creating a server I can teach myself stuff on from old desktop
1) VMs are out of the question. Your CPU is too old to run VMs. 2) This could be a very powerful firewall, router, and privacy cleanser. Check out OPNsense or pfSense 3) Could definitely run as a NAS! Not a powerful one. An easy one to get started with is Open Media Vault.

DietPi released a new version 9.1
DietPi is a lightweight Debian based Linux distribution for SBCs and server systems, with the option to install desktop environments, too. It ships as minimal image but allows to install complete and ready-to-use software stacks with a set of console based shell dialogs and scripts.
The source code is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi
The full release notes can be found at: https://dietpi.com/docs/releases/v9_1/

Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
I used dietpi [1] for similar reasons: a slim version of Debian, and with the defaults set to push all the logging into ram to minimize writes. Dietpi has opinionated defaults, for sure, but it's easy to choose something else (e.g. Dropbear is the default ssh server, but bumping to OpenSSH is a matter of changing a setting in the handy config tool).
I've been running an RPi3 on an SD card as my secondary PiHole instance on it for at least a year with no issues.
That's a good point, but the array of devices supported by the DietPi team is extensive: https://dietpi.com/

The Orange Pi 5
Before someone starts the usual yadda yadda about the RPi biger community, the OS not having long time support etc. I would repeat one more time: do not rely on board vendor supplied images; this is valid for pretty much all boards. Just go to Armbian or DietPi pages and you'll almost certainly find one or more images that work on your board and forums to discuss about them with very knowledgeable people.
https://www.armbian.com/download/
Those projects are well worth a contribution, as they don't have a giant like Broadcom behind them.

OpenWrt One/AP-24.XY: new open source router board by OpenWrt and Banana Pi
> bananapi do a lot of boards but their software story has been a bit poor
This is quite common with other board manufacturers too. I'd rather suggest to ignore completely their cobbled together distros, often also tainted by proprietary modifications, that become unmaintained in a few years, and see if they're among the many supported by Armbian or DietPi.

Looking for a way to remote in to K's of raspberry pi's...
RPi OS = diet pi https://dietpi.com/ - initial config via text file - SDcard burning out partially mitigated as writes log files to ram then flushes to SDcard reducing write cycles
