You should build the hardware around what your compute requirements dictate. A NAS needs little in the area if compute power but Minecraft could be a little demanding. Review the Minecraft server requirements and build based on that. Or build to Max out your budget and get the best you can up to that point.

The -R is the recursive switch

I just expose it to the internet.

OnlyOffice has been working fine for me though I’ve not used it in serious capacity.

I initially started with Collabora but for some reason I couldn’t get it working. This is surely not an issue with the product though and entirely my fault.

Are you using pihole to also create custom local DNS records?

Set up what you want on what you already have and if your workload is more than your hardware can handle then upgrade.

Overall most of what you rattled off isn’t too resource heavy but 12gb of memory isnt exactly a lot and i dont know what your minecraft server will eat up.

Alternatively look up the recommended minimum specs for each of your desired applications and add up the needs.

Additionally if this isnt going to be a headless system and you want a desktop gui that consumes resources as well.

That sounds more or less to be exactly what I’m doing with NPM currently. I don’t see how it’s easier to configure as all I did was fire up the NPM container, log in, and add my host targets.

NPM also handles SSL both standard http verification as well as DNS auth for wildcards.

Whats wrong with NPM?

Its just a computer, nothing more. You would do exactly the same thing as you would on a desktop or vps.

No you do not have to plug in both power cords but if both aren’t plugged in it may blare an alarm. If so plug in the other or just remove the redundant PSU.

+1 for restic. I have additionally started using autorestic with it and have been happy how it operates.

Just look at the bit rate of what you are streaming and multiply it by 3 then add a little extra for overhead.

What exactly do you mean by “not mountable”?

Debian for all things.

Error message? Nextcloud logs?

Can’t tell you whats happening without information about what’s happening other than “it doesn’t work”.

If I’m supposed to be reading that top comment I don’t see where you state what your results were. You apparently “had errrors” but neglected to note any down and now “you don’t” have errors.

This it should be no issue for you to copy and paste that answer in our conversation.

And what exactly happens?
