<h2>Introduction</h2>
|

|
|
<p>
|

|
|
So you want to make your own homelab? We can get started on

<h2>What computers would I need?</h2>
|

<h2>Software</h2>
|

<h3>Services</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
We will need some services to host content like pictures,
|
||
|
|
videos, or having a game server. Otherwise, what is the point of
|
||
|
|
having a server?
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://jellyfin.org">Jellyfin</a>: Media server for
|
||
|
|
your legally obtained movies/shows.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://nextcloud.com">NextCloud</a>: Cloud server
|
||
|
|
(or known as a Google Drive/Dropbox alternative)
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||

<li>
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_(software)"
|
||
|
|
>Samba</a
|
||
|
|
>: Local file server, don't need a web browser for this!
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Operating Systems</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
An operating system is the essential part of a server. Without
|
||
|
|
it, nothing will run!
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux">Linux</a>:
|
||
|
|
Recommended for stability and most popular, Linux has a lot of
|
||
|
|
variety, but
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distribution"
|
||
|
|
>distributions</a
|
||
|
|
>
|
||
|
|
like <a href="https://ubuntu.com/server">Ubuntu Server</a> is
|
||
|
|
a good choice!
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://www.proxmox.com/en/">Proxmox</a>: Great for
|
||
|
|
experts and can launch multiple services in separate
|
||
|
|
containers/VMs.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows"
|
||
|
|
>Windows</a
|
||
|
|
>: It just works. Can be a great start for your home server,
|
||
|
|
use it to share files within your network, and run simple
|
||
|
|
services (like a Jellyfin server).

It has been my main server since 2020, it currently hosts all of
|
||
|
|
my files and uses 13 TB. It also can host other services like
|
||
|
|
Jellyfin, a Minecraft server and some Discord bots.

This is a recent addition as it is being used as my main VM
|
||
|
|
server, where I could easily spin up a new virtual machine
|
||
|
|
without it slowing down my main machine and able to do
|
||
|
|
complicated tasks. This computer was refurbished and bought from
|
||
|
|
Newegg for $188.99 (with taxes) / $179.99 (without taxes), and
|
||
|
|
replaced the 256 GB SSD with the current SSDs below.
