New Home Server: OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS or something else? (self.linux)

I just ordered an Aoostar R1N100 mini PC to replace my aging Synology NAS. Now I'm thinking about what to install on it. It's supposed to work as a NAS but I also want to host some services on it like papeless-ngx and Jellyfin, which I both run in Docker containers on a different machine right now. Plus anything that takes my fancy in the future. Current candidates are OpenMediaVault and TrueNAS. My priorities are ease of installation and administration, as well as reliability. Which one would you recommend or are there any alternatives I'm not aware of? I've also considered Unraid, but I'd prefer something FOSS.

I've been happy with Unraid. The few issues I've had were HD controller problems.

Seconded, being able to use different sized drives is nice.

Yeah, I just sort of take the different drive sizes for granted nowadays.
