Install a hypervisor.

Then you can run as many different OSs as you like at the same time,
and even one server per service if you want. You won't run into the
weird permutation issues where that one really good app won't run on
the OS you chose. Just build another VM with the OS that is good for
the app.

Makes things massively simpler.

if you have a spare machine for testing, try Proxmox

it's a hypervisor. you can then either use standard VMs or even LXC
containers

you can then either use a container NAS like truenas or use Ceph from
within proxmox directly

why would i use TrueNAS inside Proxmox? can't Proxmox do the storage
management with ZFS already?

it can. I also mentioned Ceph.

but if you want a more GUI solution with (maybe?) more options, you
could run TrueNAS inside Proxmox

nested stuff is ofc sometimes not optimal, but I do think a LXC
container with truenas might fit your needs if ZFS or Ceph is not what
you're looking for.

i only really mentioned it because it was mentioned in the original
post
