!!! Home server
!! Goals
The home server's main goals are to make information sharing easier across multiple gadgets in a house.
It should offer appropriate services to reduce the need for cloud services and move the center of gravity of information back into the house. The home serve should bring the information together and make it easier to protect it from disaster or unwanted access.
The home server can offer other services in addition to network access and storage:
* accept incoming data from memory cards (plug in memory card reader, automate copying them to an incoming
!! Typical solutions
Home servers are a common product with solutions anywhere from 100$ to 1000$. They typically don't offer gigabit ethernet, have slow CPUs, little RAM and reduced functionality.
!! DIY solutions
One may simply run Linux and configure adequate services or use dedicated solutions such as FreeNAS.
The hardware can be a regular PC or wifi router with USB ports reflashed with Linux.
A regular PC might be wort the trouble and the electrical power as even old PC will be 5 times faster than a typical router CPU and have 4 to 10 times more RAM. Plus, they can house hard drives, CD drives etc.
''One of the best solutions is the Mac Mini. A powerful dual core CPU, 2GB of RAM (in the 2008 models, more in the new ones), gigabit Ethernet, 802.11g wireless (N in new ones), Bluetooth, 4x USB 2.0, 2x IEEE1394. Add a few IEEE1394 external hard drives and you have a killer home server, which can also be a media PC. (Yes, I have two minis and I love them...)''
