NAS - Enquiries - 10-10-2024
Good evening,
The article is amazing, I've been wanting to make a NAS for some time, but I find it difficult to know what exactly I need, and your article and videos were really helpful, I really appreciate it!
Still, I still have doubts about what is best for the purpose that my NAS will have, which I will tell you about below.
I am a web programmer, and I would love to be able to use it as a web server, so I would always have to have Docker containers running.
Of course I also want to use it for photo and video backups and a multimedia server with Plex.
I don't know what RAM memory, processor power it should have, if the speed of the RJ45 will be critical to act as a web server...
As for hard drives, I think I would start with two 8TB ones, one being a replica of the other for safety, or is it not worth it? I would store all the photos and videos on them, as well as the backups. And SSD for the OS and Docker?
My most sincere thanks!!
Greetings,
Javier Quintana
