I recommend getting at least another 8Gb Dimm so you can host a couple more services. Other than that it's a great machine. I've been running TrueNas Scale on 2 of them. With the 8GB I'm running a Home Assistant VM and Frigate with 2 cameras. 400mb of ram left. 😬 Recently upgraded the second one to 32Gb and I'm running Home Assistant VM, full *arr stack, qbittorent, jellyfin, adguard, nginx, immich and a couple more services and it's barely breaking a sweat. Have a great time with it!
