Some HP SFF with 8GB+ and maybe 6th gen or higher would suffice. Spend $100 on a used one which will come with a small SSD. Slap a used 4TB drive in it for storage. Install Debian, Docker and use the NC AIO config.

Don't piss around with a Pi that's going to be twice the price with a tiny SD card (that you shouldn't use for volatile storage), no NVME or SATA, and a tenth of the processing power.
