Andrew Howe<p>Just about finished setting up a second-hand Dell micro-PC as a home media server / file share. I now know considerably more about NFS, Avahi, DNS-SD, SSDP, UPnP, DLNA, NetBIOS, WSD, and SMB than I frankly want to 😅 Everything *should* be visible, auto-discoverable, and usable across Linux, Windows, and the Sony (Android) TV, now… And VLC on my phone, in theory. <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/homeserver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homeserver</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/mediaserver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mediaserver</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/nfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nfs</span></a></p>

Jan<p>Seit 10 Tagen ist mein Homeserver nun schon down. Mainboard hat wohl einen weg. Hat ein wenig gedauert, bis ich den Fehler einigermaßen sicher einkreisen konnte. Ersatzteile sind leider aktuell noch im Zulauf. Bis dahin sind nahezu alle digitalen Annehmlichkeiten erst einmal weg: Nextcloud, Pi-Hole, Forgejo, Syncthing und vieles mehr. Echt doof!</p><p>Ich glaube, ich muss perspektivisch zumindest Pi-Hole auf einen eigenen Raspberry Pi separieren.</p><p>Wie macht ihr das denn: Habt ihr zuhause mehrere (redundante) Server stehen? Oder habt ihr eure Server (virtuell) in einem externen RZ?</p><p><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/homeserver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homeserver</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a></p>

Roberto von Archimboldi<p>So, if I had and old desktop computer lying around and a home internet connection, how easy would it be to turn it into a very basic server. I have few skills but can follow a recipe. I don't want to do anything much more complicated than having an ftp server to store files and a CalDev server. At most I might be tempted to run wordpress so that I can not blog. </p><p>Is it has simple as installing Debian, and any other software, giving the machine a static IP and then sorting out a DNS registration? Do I even need the later if I don't want to use WordPress?</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HomeServer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeServer</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HelpNeeded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HelpNeeded</span></a></p>
