I would like to start and create my first file server at home. I’ve never done this before and I’m a beginner. I would like to know how to create one, how to maintain it for years to come, and what costs are entailed with a direct or indirect costs. Thanks everyone.
Edit
Added the below for clarity.
What I am looking for is a way to storing my personal files at home. I am not looking for internet connected device that I can access remotely.
It will be mainly used to store my personal photos and videos, and not used to stream movies to a device.
Should be accessible by devices such as android, windows, and iOS.
The official app is still shit.
I still use Reddit for some niche subs. I would advise on using something like continuum to browse anonymously.
Otherwise, create an account and use it to save some posts to view later. Creating an account requires an API key now so search online on how to do that.
