+ <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).
+ </li>

+ It has been my main server since 2020, it currently hosts all of

+ 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.
