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?

I forgot to add you can add drives of different sizes and just keep adding it down the road i gave a mix of 3,4, 6 and 8 tb drives over the years as they got cheaper
