Making my own cloud at home?

What would be the best route to getting this setup. I would like to use it for (among other things) all backups (mac, iPhone/pad) and iPhoto’s with being to access them just like apples storage but for free.

There isn’t going to be anything to really match Apple’s cloud for that. You will have to use iTunes to back all those things up. So you will just basically need a computer at home that you hardwire your devices to, to back them up.
You can back your photos up through certain apps and other things like documents, but if you want full backups, iTunes is the way you have to go or iCloud.

You can use Plex for your photos. As far as backups go there isn't a way that I know of to have it back up to a personal server.

Nextcloud is open source cloud platform you can setup for home use. If you have a domain or ddns and use let's encrypt https certs then you can point to it for remote https access. However, keeping it purely local has it's security benefits.

9.99/month for 2TB of iCloud storage solves this very, very easily.
