To all the friends I never met:

I am running a homeserver with all my music, videos, books, articles, source, etc. here is how you do it↓

  • get a old desktop computer
  • install gnu/linux on it
  • connect it to your router through ethernet
  • install nextcloud
  • install samba, create a smb partition on your new server
  • mount the drive into your regular computer, phone, laptop, tv. smart-stereo.
  • enjoy all your music from anywhere without cluttering your devices with music, movies or books, or articles, or , or, or
  • I usually just use vlc to access any media on my smb share :D just works
  • get the nextcloud-client for phone and your other devices and access your smb share that way if you like and upload fotos, video or music there. :D

Thank me later (also if you use ALL linux devices you can skip the smb part and just use netdriv

Tbh, I've had an even easier time installing TrueNas on an old PC and then installing Nextcloud via their web interface.
