  • Ansible-NAS

    Build a full-featured home server or NAS replacement with an Ubuntu box and this playbook.

    Ubuntu supports ZFS as well. I use this at the moment which works very well. https://github.com/davestephens/ansible-nas

  • OpenMediaVault

    openmediavault is the next generation network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian Linux. Thanks to the modular design of the framework it can be enhanced via plugins. openmediavault is primarily designed to be used in home environments or small home offices.

    I would just go with Proxmox and run Plex, game server and NAS as VMs. For a NAS, take a look at StarWinds SAN and NAS or TrueNAS Core if you want ZFS. 16GB of RAM might be a bit scarce for everything but still worth a shot. There's also openmediavault that requires minimum RAM.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
