I am setting ap on Old computer of mine as a local nextcloud instance and maby host my own little Blog. I wouldn't do much else on this machine so I think an immutable Distribution like MicroOs would be the right choice.
What do you use for your homelab?

Immutable devices surely will have their use, but i love the freedom that comes with Linux. I'm using Debian and Ubuntu on all my machines and VMs

I would use Debian. Make sure you are practicing good security practices such as strong passwords, containers, vlans, firewalls and least privilege.

I use OpenSuse on allmost all of my devices so I went for OpenSuse Leap, Had problems setting up nextcloud on MicroOs since it does not support snap.

Just use docker and docker compose
