Intel NUC is the standard option for something powerful enough to run as a proper home server long-term.

Personally after owning many (I still run two) I've moved to the Asus Mini PC because there's a config with an AMD Ryzen. Much better performance than Intel and cheaper too.

I’ve seen the NUC a lot when looking, but have seen the Asus mini. I got my hands on refurbed Lenovo ThinkCenter mini that might do the trick, but it only had 256g SSD so I’d have to buy a 1-2TB external for it.

The Lenovo should do it for sure. I looked at those myself but wanted something smaller. You should be able to upgrade the internal SSD and RAM in those machines, much cheaper (and faster, and just a cleaner setup) vs external.
