The thing with tailscale is that its just a VPN connection – from my understanding. Why not just self host your own VPN server?

Backups?

Yeah Good point. the storage is the most expensive part. I did find these SSDs at a good price and with high reviews on Amazon which would cost $356 for 4 before taxes (a little better that 480€, but not by much).

Edit: Another thought would be to use the sata hat on the pi and get some sort of adapter to work with the platter drives but that would just add in the complexity and would likely require a PC power supply for the drives which would also add costs.

What part would be too expensive?

Pi 5, SATA hat, 4 SSDs and you would be good.
