Your server setup

How do people have their server system setup?

I have a Raspberry Pi, which is plugged into a TV although I usually access it remotely from a computer or phone. It’s got a permanently on 3TB drive, an occasionally on one (live backup), and one that is stored remotely as remote backup.

Software running on it:

  • Logitech media server, with extensive custom plugins
  • Samba server for sharing files, all the Windows PCs use this rather than their own drives for data
  • Syncthing, my current favourite thing, which syncs the phone photos and Windows drives onto the server
  • Plex server, which is great as it means you can play the movies stored on the server to a Chromecast
  • MiniDLNA, which would seem to be redundant now I have Plex, but it’s quick and easy, and more stable than Plex
  • Deluge, yay torrents
  • There’s OpenVPN on it so I can access it from outside the network as well

I might make my new NUC into a secondary server for backup purposes, as it’s in another room.

What do you all do for this kind of thing?

2 x Synology NAS, both with 10Tb. One acts as a server for music, photos and other is for backups.

A Melco N1A for audio and an el cheapo WD NAS as general backup. Looking to get a Roon ROC unit up and running once I’ve sorted trivial details like a house to put it in.

This is why I can’t post hotlinks to the what are you listening to now thread.

The only hotlinks I know are Texas hotlink sausages.

A 4gb ram something mobo with 8TB of hdd space running SME server 9.1 (Debian based I think). Everything turned off except Samba. Fileserver only. Wired connection to router/hub. Laptop in music room wired connectuon to router. Laptop runs Foobar and plays files from server. Very simple.
