What operating system do you use for your home server? I’m planning to do unraid but what are the other options and why would you pick one or another?

Arch. No Window Managers or Desktop Environments. Its easy to work with when no extra fluff is installed.

Debian. I use mostly docker containers and super easy to spin up and manage.

Debian, FreeBSD. Proxmox is awesome for hosting VMs, LXC, and Docker Containers (via a VM).

Debian, I wouldn’t pick another one.

Debian Stable. Clean, easy, and reliable. Upgrades smoothly without drama.

Proxmox or Debian minimal!

I really wanted to self host so I wrote my own OS, from scratch.

unRAID is fantastic. I used to use it as a monolith server, now it acts as my NAS.

I currently run a Kubernetes cluster on a handful of Ubuntu server nodes.
