DIY NAS Guide

Best NAS for the Home. Configuration Guide with Open Source Software on Raspberry Pi or PC for Network Hard Disk Drive, Backup Data Share. Make a Home Server Linux. A lot of screenshots to help.

With this NAS guide, I would like to help a little bit so that you can easily assemble a simple and inexpensive NAS yourself.

For the operating system Open Media Vault as Open Source, which I use here, there are countless other options that can be used.

I limit myself to the main usage of a NAS and that is to provide storage over the network.

This is a NAS with web server for backup and data backup.

Have fun setting up and building yourself
