NAS is how most people get into this. It’s nice have a /comfy/ home for all your data. Streaming your movies/shows around the house and to friends is good feels. Repurpose an old desktop, buy a SBC, or go with cheap used enterprise gear. Lots of options and theres even a flowchart. Ask.
/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a pfsense box and configuring some vlans. Theres always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re godtier already? Setup openstack and report back.
>What software should I run? install gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin to replace netflix, nextcloud to replace googlel, ampache to replace spotify, the list goes on and on. Look at the awesome selfhosted list and ask.
>Datahoarding ok here? YES - you are in good company. Shuck those easystores and flash IT mode on your H310. All datahoarding talk welcome.
>Do I need a rack and all that noisey enterprise gear? No. An old laptop or rpi can be a server if you want.
Please expand it, also don't use your real name or any password when you register. Preferable use cock.li or something anonymous. Or just email the admin with the username and password you want.
Yo my uni got a great opportunity and they want someone, i talked to my prof and he said well he usually look for someone with some experience if hes a first year, so whats the bare minimum or something cool i can do related to networks? I have no equipment and not exactly a lot of money, and oh i havent had a networking class yet, is it over or can i still do something? The application process should be around october. Oh its related to servers but im not exactly sure what it is

Buy a 100$ cisco lab or start playing around with or alternatively fuck around with gns3 if you have a computer powerfull enough to virtualise everything.
Otherwise you can also grab cisco's meemy network tool( packet tracer) that allows you make a mock network.
I live in an apartment complex currently and discovered I have a double NAT situation, which prevents me from doing much with my NAS remotely. Is there any solution other than asking for a static IP that anyone can offer to suggest? I feel I haven't done enough messing around with network settings on my personal router to eliminate all possibilities.
