Check out if your NAS are able to run docker (I would suggest docker):
- If this is possible you can use the NAS as Fileserver with integrated Jellyfinserver (as a docker service).
- If not you can use the NAS as Fileserver only and run Jellyfin-server on a Raspery Pi or on your PC / Notebook.
You can also use a USB-3 drive 1TB for example and run Jellyfin-server on a Raspery Pi or on your PC / Notebook.
For home use this would be a good starting point (to test internal network LAN / WLAN and performance of Fileserver / Jellyfin-server and don't forget to develop a backup plan for your media).
If you plan access from outside of your homenetwork, there are additional tasks; First of all security (configuration of firewall) and also the upload bandwith to your internet provider.
Start small to get familiar with all aspects.
Find your sweet spot of use (video, audio, photo) and if clients are in homenet or extern (mobiles / friends / relatives). After that you can follow Vensons hint to go for future investments.
