Hey guys, I’m new to self-hosting; I’m trying to set up cloud storage to store pics and other content. However, I’m unsure whether to use my old computer, Buy NAS or ResberryPie to set up a home server.
Also, what is the best privacy-friendly OS to use with the home server?
Lastly, do’s and don’ts.
Any help would be appreciated (:
Try the pi for tinkering since it will be cheaper. If you end seeing issues with performance for the usage you need you could start looking up used laptops or optiplexes.
I had some used componentes lying around so I frankesteined a server with used parts after buying some disks
