I build myself a home server last year, without any particular plan just to try it. Specs: Ryzen 7 3800X, 32 GB ECC RAM, 2 TB HDD and 500 GB SSD. I use it to run PLEX, Torrent, TrueNAS, WireGuard, NextCloud, and my side projects.

The server runs Proxmox, some of these services are separate VMs, others are running as Nomad jobs. I also have a dedicated development VM which I can access remotely through the VPN wich is pretty nice.

Do you find that 500 GB is enough for storing everything?

For my usage so far yes, dev VM has around 60 GB, others around 30-40 wich is plenty to install everything. For Nextcloud I mount NFS volumes from TrueNAS which has 2 TB HDD.
