I'm thinking to replace my<br>old setup: an old laptop with Ubuntu and an USB harddrive of 1TB.<br><br>There are plenty of NAS around, but I wouldn't like one which does<br>just a Samba share or any fixed features and that's it. I mainly look<br>for a multi-purpose home server which can be always-on. The USB drive<br>didn't spin down, and the Laptop takes also energy compared to an ARM<br>processor. What I would like to have:<br><br>- Energy efficient<br>- Ext4 or similar, need hard links.<br>- SSH<br>- Samba shares<br>- rsync backups<br>- EncFS encryption<br>- DLNA server to watch movies on TV<br>- Full bitcoin client<br>- WiFi is a plus, don't have to place it next to the router then.<br><br>So to speak a little PC. Best would be if you could just take any<br>Ubuntu and put it on the NAS. A Raspberry PI would do it, but is<br>'naked' and still requires an external HD.<br><br>If you have a NAS and are happy with it, let me know!<br><br>Thanks,<br>Peter<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Wylug-discuss mailing list<br>Wylug-discuss@wylug.org.uk<br>https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/wylug-discuss<br></body>
