Does anyone have experience with building a NAS for their Mac? (sh.itjust.works)

I’m really looking into building a NAS for my Mac. I got the 256gb MacBook Air and currently back up the machine using a nvme drive over type c but having to plug it in to access video files and backup every couple days is not ideal. With how cheap physical storage is now, a NAS seems like a good solution. Does anyone have a NAS at home and can share the software and hardware needed to make it run smoothly?

The easy thing is to get a NAS like Synology or Terramaster. You can definitely build one from tutorials online, but I’m at a stage in life where I don’t have the time.

I have set one up for Time Machine in the past, but have switched to CCC direct to the NAS.
