I’ve been debating trying this but I’m not an IT expert, so feeling overwhelmed and nervous to even start. Do you have any guides or websites that you could recommend?
If you go with a out-of-the-box solution you don’t really need much expertise. You just click through a series of almost self-explanatory installation steps and it just works. I’d recommend Synology. It’s very simple and just works flawlessly with minimum effort.
Now, this is lemmy and the foss/privacy people will probably have me crucified for saying that … so if you care about that, I’d suggest scrolling/asking in [email protected].
I second Synology. Have similar background (no IT experience). Bought a d923+ and have been setting up different options. Within 6 months I have setup:
a self hosted Immich account for all my photos (downloaded everything from Google Photos)
Plex for all my media (unexpected benefit, no longer paying for several streaming apps)

I highly recommend Marius Hosting for simple, step by step, guides. For example: https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-immich-on-your-synology-nas/
