DIY NAS vs. Prebuilt for media streaming & self-hosting (Pi-hole, web server)?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to get a NAS for my setup. My primary goal is to store and stream my music and movie collection. However, I also love tinkering with tech and plan to host a small website and run self-hosted applications like Pi-hole, so I need something flexible.

Is building a NAS from scratch (buying components and assembling it myself) a good option for this? I’ve read that prebuilt units can be quite limited when it comes to running custom software and containerized apps.

Thanks for your advice!
