Reverse proxy if your home internet is decent.

50mbps upload is fine for me.

I had it running on a mini PC with 8tb of storage, but I couldn't get the latency down to where I want it, so I moved it to a VPS.

Problem with that is there is no backup in case of flood/fire/tornado etc.

That's what I do. 1.6TB currently on rsync.net, only my personal artifacts excluding all media that can be reacquired and it's a reasonable $10/mo. Synced daily at 4am.

If I wanted my backups to include my media collection or anything exceeding several TB, I would build a second NAS and drop it at my parents'.

I just have my data folder and database being copied to backblaze. It's relatively cheap. Most hosting providers don't necessarily do backup unless you configure that on your own anyway.
