Hey guys, I’m new to self-hosting; I’m trying to set up cloud storage to store pics and other content. However, I’m unsure whether to use my old computer, Buy NAS or ResberryPie to set up a home server.

Also, what is the best privacy-friendly OS to use with the home server?

Lastly, do’s and don’ts.

Any help would be appreciated (:

    Whatever you do, make sure you setup firewall properly and enable automatic updates for your software. People say this last part is bad advice, but I’d rather have software break from an update than get ransomware’d.
