Hello all.
I'm looking to get a home server setup for myself. I know I could technically grab an old PC and use that as a server, but I'd like a step up from that. Something that can last me a few years.
I'll be using it for personal and business, but I'll be the only one accessing it, so it's load will be minimal.
I'll want a RAID setup for the system. Not sure what type.
Don't have a particular budget in mind, but don't want to spend thousands. Just no reason to right now.
I'd like it in a server rack preferably so any recommendations on an affordable rack and actual server case would be appreciated.
And, the main point of the post, any recommendations for the specs of the server would be great.
Thanks as always.
P.S. Security for the server is important to me. In fact, I wanted to implement the requirement to have a Yubikey in order to access the server remotely. I'll make a forum post on that down the line, but if anyone thinks that would affect what system specs I'll need for the server, that'd be nice to know beforehand.
