  • Why you want a macOS home server, and how to get one going

    SamtroisSamtrois
    Can't believe how many people here are using old macs for servers. As with most Apple products, there are several objectively better and cheaper options out there.

    A Mac mini as a server, external hard drives? Additional nas'? Velcro and zip ties? Cmon these are terrible solutions

    Look into unraid or freenas options, Dockers are the way forward in home servers. Runs on basically any old PC(my $60 old pentium Cpu will transcode 2x 1080 streams). Could build an entire new system (minus drives) for cheaper than the nas linked above 

    My unraid server runs everything you mentioned and more. Is more compatible across OS's (I use all 3) and essentially allows as many (mismatched) drives as your case can handle. 

    Peace.
