The last time I built a server was about 12 years ago with CentOS on a Foxcom box. My current NAS is old, SMB1 with no upgrade path so I'm thinking about a replacement.
My requirements are so low I'm almost afraid to post the here as most members seem to have or build systems far more capable than anything I would need.
Storage 4TB or more. I don't store films or video.
Shares for members of the household.
Mirroring or better.
24x7 so Low Power Consumption
Low Cost.
Nice to have's
Serve media
External access via VPN - note can't use router based vpn.
As I'm so very out of date I'd appreciate advice or point me to what I should be reading to get me started.
Thanks All. Aamcle
