Greetings, so I final got wife permission to buy a pi zero 2 and a beeline 12s pro (n100) arriving tomorrow. I already have a nas drive for my media.

Question is what is the average setup and guides for this?

Of course I will be scouring this and other communities for info but the immediate items I want to fix are my plex/jellyfin server, setup RetroArch or equivalent gaming, then of course arr servers. But I would like to also get into reverse proxy and searxng, next cloud and pihole.

Any tips on how to make this beautiful?

OS recommendations? I currently run manjaro on my daily, but would think a kubuntu or kde fedora/debian spin might be better for these items.

Guides you can point me to? Suggestions for more or better options? There are plenty of answers in this community and I will look at what’s posted but any assistance is appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I’m excited to start plying with the simple things

    I recommend going with Debian (without desktop) and Docker compose. You can use something like Dockage to make it easier.

      Use OMV as a GUI crutch in the beginning. And once comfortable, switch to docke compose

        I wouldn’t as the Open media Vault GUI isn’t great and a bit unintuitive.

        Docker compose has a learning curve but it isn’t bad since it is very well documented. If I was looking for a GUI I would honestly go with Cockpit + Podman
