Just wanting to know if this would be able to run a small nas mainly for holding films, tv shows and music and then using use for a plex/jellyfin. As well as a few other docker containers. Would the best os for this use case be unraid and their apps feature or would proxmox be best and then run everything virtualised or something else?

(I would upgrade the amount of RAM)

I get a ton of these from work, all 8th-10th gen i5's. I stopped taking them home when I accumulated about 30 of them. I don't really have much of a reason of taking them home, but I've only used 2 of them so far, and they're plenty for what I was wanting to use them for. If anyone in the US wants some, please help. My wife doesn't like the wall of them in my office room.
