I would recommend you to buy a computer, it could be an Intel NUC N5105 which can do a lot, i use that with external drives connected, currently having one internal SSD and three external, but i would also mention that the reason for my setup is that there isnt much space and i have some other hardware on same closet, but else just a desktop with Intel CPU (The newer the better). As OS you can use Proxmox i belive it's called or TrueNAS.. Personally i use Debian and SSH into it and do things from console, but i am aware many people prefer a webinterface, but this way you wont have restrictions, bad OS updates that conflits with Jellyfin and ability to use the default Jellyfin release with docker..
I have also used a commerical NAS, but its not worth it.
