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 (:

    Problem was less the throughput and more the power it could provide to supply both a 2.5" hdd and ssd.
    If you connected the monitor your could see a bolt on the monitor probably warbing about undervoltage/power.
    When I upgraded the kernel it went down during the upgrade.

      I had an issue with only 1 SSD powered from USB, couldnt even run SMART test. Found that after I got corrupted system. Getting external power supply makes it more bulky and have to be careful with compatibility
