Whatever you're most comfortable with. It's a simple enough ask that you can do it in Ubuntu server or Debian quite easily.
I would recommend at least using docker but you don't have to.
Truenas isn't very forgiving with drive configuration. I really like it but it isn't great for randomly adding drives here and there. Unraid might be a better choice for home usage. I have never had good luck with their built in app stuff but I've also never really tried past it not doing what I want.
I run truenas with a ubuntu server vm and docker some stuff in that. I also run proxmox on another server and a dev server running Ubuntu server that I docker things on.
Definitely run it in a container. It's a great application, but it has several documented security holes. You'll want it to be as restricted as possible, so if a major exploit does come about, it won't do much harm.
What about running it as a flatpak? Do you think that's restricted enough if it is exposed to the internet?
