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 (:

    Whatever you do:

    • keep notes
    • consider the 1st build “wrong”
    • “destroy” it (before it’s the only place your data is stored in)
    • build it again

    That means you’ll really understand it and how to maintain it.

    And others have said: 3-2-1 backups

      Still chugging along with my broken permissions ACL from my 2nd or 3rd attempt and knowledge from my Pi4.
