Hi, I want to make a system thats primary purpose is to host video files. I am part of a performance group and we have a large amount of video that I would like to keep safe and be able to easily distribute. Our previous archiver was using just an external hard drive which died. So I need to make something that is reliable
My initial thoughts were to make a little lamp server with a raid1 on it to make sure the data is kept safe. That would also give me a chance to play around with linux a little bit and maybe do some simple http hosting as well. But the system will mainly be storage/ftp.
If anyone has any suggestions from hardware to linux distro to use for this purpose, I am all ears.
Thank you!
