If your ISP is not reliable then a VPS or dedicated (budget permitted) are good alternatives. Install docker, and an office suite, file manager, pihole, and you’re good to go. Takes minutes. No need for thread rippers either. Mine’s a low spec nuc alternative. Does wonders.

Minutes is a big stretch if it’s your first time.

All it takes is docker compose up -d. But yes, it can take even hours if there's no prior experience. Worth the cost I reckon.

Edit: turns out umbrel is even easier to install. Suppose that and a trusted remote webdav install will serve most storage and file management needs.

I agree that the steps themselves are quick, but figuring out what all needs done is the tricky bit.
