Hi guys, as the title says im looking forward to create a Server for my house. But I want it to handle everything I work with.
Basically The first thing I need is a NAS, cause all my computers are very small in storage (all have 64 and 128 ssd's) so I want to store all my information on the server and stream it whenever I need it, also I want to sync some of my Android folders with the server, in order to backup all my information on the server.
Also I want it to be DLNA because I want to watch some of my movies, videos, pictures and even my music in my tv's.
The third thing is that I have an small XAMPP server running in my old laptop, but I want to move it from there cause I want to consume less resources on my old machine, also to make my HTML site available 24/7 (But with very few users, 5 at most at the same time).
Well I have some ideas on the hardware but im totally lost on the software, dont know what to use, I was thinking about installing freeNAS (because of the ZSF filesystem), but im kind on stupid with linux (specially with the XAMPP server, once I had to reinstall linux 3 times in a week because MySQL server died and couldn't get it to work again), and I bet I'm even worse with BSD, so I'm more like a windows guy and I would prefer to install 3rd party software (but not sure because of the big windows resource consuption), however, you guys are really experts and any advice that you give me will be what I'll do at the end.
As for hardware
Well, right now I bought an asus M4A87TD/USB3 motherboard, and the reason to choose it was because it has 6 SATA III ports, also 2 usb 3.0 on the back, and 4 RAM slots. (Also it was really cheap hehehe).
Looking for a processor, im thinking on buying an AMD Athlon II X2 Dual Core 250u because of his low power consuption (I live on a very hot place 32-38 celsius), also thinking on 4 or 8 Gb of RAM (Dual channel), cheap and small video card, and 2 or 4 HDD's.
So I would really apreciatte any suggestions you guys can give me, because as you can see this will be my first NAS server and also my first dedicated web server.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help you guys can give me!!!
God bless you all
