The admin overhead isn’t too bad as long as you have a good base, and don’t try to do anything crazy. I transferred from Synology to a custom built NAS recently, and it’s running TrueNAS. That supports not only docker now, but also a catalog of apps preconfigured for TrueNAS with minimal manual setup needed.
For Vaultwarden, since it needs external access, I had issues setting up various reverse proxy systems and dynamic DNS services properly. So I got cheap like $5 domain through Cloudflare, and run a Cloudflare tunnel back to my network for Vaultwarden and a couple other apps like Emby for my media.
The Cloudflare tunnel also allows me to use WARP as a VPN on my laptop and phone to route that traffic back through my home network. Which also lets me use the pi-hole on my network for my ad blocking on those devices.
I jump into the TrueNAS interface weekly to check for system and app updates, and that’s about it.
