I Built A Server.

[@cvdusey]

There’s a reason my dad, who is a professional video editor, had 40 terabytes of space and just got another 24 terabytes.

[@Moondream417]

@@cvdusey Oh for sure. I definitely foresee needing more than the 4TB I've got now. This is really just a stop-gap solution utilizing what I had at the time. I'll probably build a whole new system when the time comes...

Haha I have been watching videos about this for a while and I am dreading starting my own TrueNAS home server. I am gonna have to bite the bullet soon

[@Moondream417]

Honestly it's not too hard as long as you don't miss any steps like I did 😅. If you've got the parts go for it!

Cool Video! At my parent's place I have my main 10 TB raid z2 NAS for all the family photos, document backups and stuff but at my flat I have a small 1TB NAS thin client as a kind of "Universal USB stick" for all my flatmates in the house to share files n stuff, its really helpful for sharing videos between iphone/android/PC

[@Moondream417]

The small thin client "USB stick" is a great idea. As someone with the Android phone + Mac combo, network file sharing has become my go-to for getting files back and forth. I wish it wasn't such a pain to copy files to a Mac over USB but so be it 🤷‍♂️

I am currently looking for a nas solution that requires as less power as possible. I just want something where i can store automated backups. Using a consumer grade pc for storing Backups and some files doesnt justify the power cost. So i came to the idea to hook a 2,5" hdd in an external usb 3.0 case. That is powered by usb. So probably i hook it to my router. I dont know what else i could do. The problem is when thst hdd fails there is no backup. I mean with raid wjen a drive fails it can be replaced and you good to go without loosing data

[@mathiasanders3946]

Why so complicated? I use Ubuntu server and CasaOS wich is way easier to share files and give acess to any folder you want. It runs as a VM and my storage is an external drive. No problem anywhere so far.

[@Moondream417]

@@mathiasanders3946 I've played with TrueNAS in the past, wanted an excuse to use some of these parts I had lying around, and I've never even heard of CasaOS. I'm glad it works for you. Maybe I'll experiment with it in the future. All things considered, TrueNAS wasn't that hard to get going. It'll be even easier for me the next time I want to build something like this now that I've refreshed myself on how everything works.
