Thanks.

fahad, 1 year ago to selfhosted in First Nas Build

I apologise for not being clear.

These are the specs of my NAS build:

• Node 804 case
• 16GB DDR4 RAM
• Seagate IronWolf Pro 2x 4TB
• 1TB nvme Samsung 970 evo plus
• Gigabyte H610M S2H V2 Intel H610 LGA1200 DDR4 Micro-ATX Motherboardd
• DeepCool GAMMAXX GT CPU Cooler A-RGB 120mm PWM Addressable RGB LED Fan Intel AMD
• 500W EVGA Power Supply Unit / PSU VAT INC
• Intel core i5-12400t QS 6c/12t Support ASUS ROG Strix B660-I Gaming WiFi LGA1700.
• I want to store all data onto the NAS, past projects, pics, etc.
• Set up automatic backups for Windows, Mac
• Set up media server (Jellyfin) with Arr apps using a VPN (I’m not sure how to set up a VPN with torrent client)
• Set up headscale to access my NAS from anywhere (also, I can’t find any tutorials).
• For 3-2-1 backups, I have decided to get an external HDD and use cloud storage.
• Self-host services such as Nextcloud, Immich and Bitwarden.
• VMs - Future
• Web hosting - Future
• Home assistant - Future

To be clear, I want to do all that; however, I have never done it before, so that any tutorials would be appreciated.

By “Dos and Don’ts,” I’m referring to the settings that should be adjusted for optimal performance, security, and privacy.

Also, any other recommendations would be appreciated.

They generate revenue from ads, but if you have a DNS set up, you won’t see any ads.

There’s one that Requires an account but is entirely free. Works on windows, Mac and android. It’s called stremio

It’s like Netflix + Amazon Prime video + HBO + Disney. All in one. Completely free

That’s another issue; I tend to torrent here and there, so port forwarding is a big deal.

That makes sense. I’ve been thinking about self-hosting storage for a while now. I’m not sure how secure NAS is with their software.

Thanks for this, I will look into it.

I mostly use Proton Mail, pass and VPN with free SimpleLogin Unlimited, which is a plus; however, the VPN is not as good as advertised. I’m considering moving to you are Mullvad (buying the Mullvad plan from Amazon). That way, you’re not forced to share your credentials.

As for cloud storage, I use Filen - lifetime 180GB (thinking of self-host using NAS or Raspberry Pie; however, I’ve never done it before, so it’s tough for me).

I have tried KeepassX. However, I had some file conflict issues and stopped using it. Regarding the password manager, my reason is similar to what you have said, but instead, I moved to proton pass from Bitwarden.

I’m also using Bitwarden; however, the UI is a big deal for me because me being a visual person. I still use it here and there.

I’ve heard they will have a visual overhaul soon; looking forward to it + thinking of self-hosting it. Even though I’m fairly new to “self hosting” any beginner self hosting tips and tricks would be appreciated.
