A person who created a thing (language or similar) pointed out that a job listing wanted more experience than time that the thing had existed.

Job qualifiers in listings imagine a perfect candidate who doesn’t exist. Don’t let that stop you from applying. They understand that you can learn new skills.

i already learnt so much by reading posts in this community

That’s the best way to learn. Embed yourself in a community and passively learn. When you have enough of the vocabulary to ask an intelligent question, ask and let the community present solutions. Good job.

1. Others may disagree, but I think a sufficiently powerful NAS can absolutely handle automation backends and media servers. I know many people run such tools on Synology devices without issue (Synology, however, have become greedy assholes wrt requiring their own drives for compatibility) including me. I haven’t used Immich, but I see no reason that couldn’t run there as well. A dedicated mini-PC is overkill, but it would make things snappier if you’re flush with cash. I’m currently running an M2 Mac mini for my server needs and torrents because I can afford it and it can support 2000+ torrents at the same time without breaking a sweat.

2. I haven’t used TrueNAS and I’m unqualified to comment on this. I have run Proxmox, but not as a container. I’ll let others comment.

3. I haven’t used the Arr Suite. I just searched and I can’t imagine any reason why you couldn’t run the torrent client on a dedicated device and store data on the NAS. You don’t need to duplicate the files to do so. You might have to create automation of sorts to mount the NAS volume on the mini-PC at login or restore it if it gets interrupted, or you could just do so manually.

Welcome to selfhosting. It’s a fun hobby.

Sixteen is the minimum where I work. We upped it at the end of last year. Fortunately, we also fixed our password policy to expire annually. It used to be every three months, which leads to recycling.

This gave me a good chuckle.

Listen. If we cared about safety we do something about it. This is where we are.
