I picked up a used Raspberry Pi 3, loaded Raspbian on 64 GB SD, a 128GB USB stick, and loaded Synchronet and Mystic BBS packages on it.
I have pi-hole running in a proxmox cluster and may move it to the pi, since I can plug it directly into my cable modem.
Are there any other ideas for Pi-friendly network servers on a home network?
... Accept advice

Try nextcloud if you have a NAS. Or a plex server

Any linux machine made out of an old PC can serve NFS to a pi, or if you must, SMB.

I have a fairly high-powered router running DD-WRT. I've got it sharing via SMB, and with an add-on, it'll support user-mode NFS. It's supposedly not as fast as kernel mode, but should do for my purposes - shared storage for Proxmox and the Pi.

You can run docker on the rPi 3. I note dockerhub has an image for pi-hole
Lots of other good server stuff on dockerhub, just check the images have an ARM version.
