|| DIY NAS / File storage server || Ubuntu Server 20.04 ||

July 5, 2021

In this video, I’ll show you how I built a DIY file storage server or NAS. I used Ubuntu Server 20.04, rather than FreeNAS or any of the other options. I also explain most of what you need to know if you want to copy this project. This was my first time using SSH, Samba and badblocks.
