Thinking about setting up a FreeBSD home server.

XigmaNAS

If you're looking for a pre-rolled solution, ready to go out of the box, I'd suggest XigmaNAS or TrueNAS Core. At least if you're looking to stick with something built on BSD. If you're looking to learn something, and find that enjoyable, then I'd suggest setting up a FreeBSD machine and going from there. The official forums are a lot better place to ask for help then here.

FreeBSD Jails

I'd suggest not doing any searches, and just using the default documentation. The handbook is what drew me to FreeBSD nearly two decades ago. Not random documentation from different users trying to accomplish the same thing in multiple ways often with little regard to security or functionality. The Handbook isn't without flaws, but it is a excellent unified documentation that covers every basic topic.
