Runs super light - right off of a USB and in RAM so you don't need to provision an install drive like you would need with TrueNAS. Has all of the support for Dockers, Media server things, VMs, the whole nine yards. Simplicity carries backwards as well - if a drive dies, pull the dead one, add a new one, rebuild, done. It will clear it, stage it, then add it and the volume size will simply expand. Literally plug the drive in, add it to the array and let it do its thing. It has stupidly simple drive management, and takes mixed drives of any size (so long as the parity drive is the largest in the array). I had gone through a couple of other NAS/Server OSs (TrueNAS and OMV) and I really didn't like the layouts of them. So much so that I have purchased 2 instances of it and run it on different servers (I wanted to separate personal/work data from media data.

There is a cost of entry (after a 30 day free trial) but it is worth every single penny. It has been mentioned a couple of times already, but for what you are looking for UnRaid. Outside of large corps that have a ton of red tape, it's very rare to see anyone using Windows for production environments. You could start by deploying minikube to it and deploy your containers on it. Put Ubuntu server on it and start learning. However, I would recommend taking this time to get away from Windows and learn the skills that are required to excel in today's market. It's all too easy with it since it holds your hand through it all.
Set up network shares, integrate with many third parties, and so on. I use it as a VMware ESXI Home Server Lab, at the moment its running a Windows Sever 2012 VM, with a couple of client VMs joined to the domain. You can also deploy docker containers from the UI. Aftermarket CPU Cooler for Mini ITX Motherboard. Heck, you can even make Windows VMs with video card pass-throughs and so on. With Unraid, you could create multiple server VMs and create a k8s cluster and orchestrate containers with it. Also, knowing your way around a Linux terminal is pretty much required for any development/devops jobs worth their salt.
My home server currently draws about 27-28 Watts at idle which is half what a 60W light bulb would take in an hour. Conclusion: A home server can be a cheap build that is low power and very efficient. I have been using it for a few years on a home server and really like it. I installed Windows Home Server using a bootable USB I created with the Microsoft Tool covered here. I no longer have to worry about space since I can plan well ahead for that.Maybe Unraid? You can create VMs, Docker containers, etc. Still, I have over 2TB of media reasonably secure and all Macs are backed up via TM. An extremely nice piece of kit which is expected to sell for around 236. It not only includes 4 hotswap drive bays but also supports a slimline DVD drive, external power adapter, lockable front door, IR and a memory card reader. Cons are that the initial investment was high and that having my iTunes library on the Drobo means I can't do a time machine backup on that. Fancy a good looking case for your Windows Home server, then look no further than the Chenbro ES34069 Mini-ITX Home Server Chassis. Pros were that I could grow the storage space as drives got cheaper, recycle old drives, have a safety net if drives fail and also use as a Time Machine backup. Then as the library got bigger, it was getting hard to store the media on an external drive and also back up.
The rMBP should last a good few years and is definitely an improvement over the mini.įor storage space, I moved away from internal drives with the mini. Now I use a first gen rMBP (2012) that was retired when I got my touch bar MBP. The host mac has evolved from a G4 tower bought in the late 90s to a 2009 Mac mini.

Initially just music, ripping all my CDs plus some vinyl. I have had a media server in several forms since iTunes first came into being.
