A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

First Nas Build (self.selfhosted)
submitted 10 months ago by fahad to c/selfhosted
 

First, I would like to thank this community for being an understanding, open-minded and Novice friendly like myself. I have learned a lot in the past few weeks thanks to this community, unlike Reddit's toxic communities where asking a question is illegal.

I have built most of my NAS; the only missing component (CPU) I will be collecting in the morning. I just wanted to ask general questions or tips. Dos and Donts. I will be using Unraid as OS.

What OS are you planning on running? I personally use FreeNAS(TrueNAS) and largely love it. There's a steep initial learning curve, but it's not too high.

I run it in a VM inside of esxi so I don't need a lot of it's more advanced features. But I do have a jail with deluge in it to handle my torrents. Deluge isn't up to the task though so I may migrate to a separate VM with something else, or just make a new jail with a different client.

Are you me?

I do the same thing, I pass a HBA through to my VM, works like a charm.

They specified Unraid.
