Mini Server with TB3 Areca RAID File Share... Won't work until I log into the servers macOS?

Sorry... I'm pretty new to running Macs as a network resource. But where I'm from, you can share a drive on a computer, and access said share from another computer without having to log locally into the first computer and stay logged in. /sarcasm.

Mini M1 -> Thunderbolt 3 -> Areca 12-bay RAID6 20TB (Main share drive)

Mini M1 -> Thunderbolt 3 -> USB3 WD 6TB - Western Digital Elements 6TB (Dedicated Time Machine share, had to move to another dedicated drive as BackBlaze won't touch any whole drive that has any TM setup share within it, even if it's excluded.) 

All I want...

1.) Restart the mini

2.) Mini reboots

... and without any other action, such as me logging into the mini...

3.) My 2 shares work from these external drives and are accessible from another device. (again, without having to manually log into the mini).

Everything works flawlessly once I log into the mini, which I clearly don't want to be forced to do.
