Interesting - any reason why not to run on the same machine?

I wonder if separating them by putting one on a virtual machine might be sufficient? Basically raspberry pi is too hard to come by. I might have some extra (old) laptops laying around but rather not go that route if I can help it.

NAS is network attached storage. Basically a bunch of hard drives in a shell with a special OS running various backup apps etc. It's powerful though, I can create virtual machines and basically have my own cloud storage/workspace. It's great as a plex media server too.

Thanks for your reply though, any info helps!

Kinda yeah. I'm not super familiar with s9 but they're more of a Sever as a Service I think? It's probably a lot morenpowerful in terms of actual power.

A NAS is primarily for backup but it's basically a low powered computer with a ton of hard drive space. So it can be used for some low latency server stuff as well. I like to use it for stuff you'd normally use Google drive for, sharing/storing archived family photos that can be accessed anywhere and permissioned, and some light streaming of totally not illegally obtained blu-ray rips.
