Here it is: my main server and NAS. It runs TrueNAS core, based off FreeBSD (since TrueNAS Scale didn't exist when I set it up). As a NAS, it has NFS, iSCSI and SMB shares running off a ZFS file system. In FreeBSD jails it runs jellyfin and nextcloud. On a BHYVE VM, ubuntu0 which runs lots of services in docker, including a netboot server, numerous websites and twitter and reddit bots)

In terms of hardware, it has a low powered six-core 9400T, 32Gb of memory for lots of VMs and a nice big ZFS cache. It has a dual port 10 gigabit NIC.
