Something like OpenVPN can be easily installed on almost any device that might access the files and the service can be installed on your server running freenas multiple ways.Įither way you decide to go I'm sure people here will help you figure out the best approach. You'll have some fun and hopefully learn some things that will benefit you in the future.ĭepending on your level of skill with securing services and how good you are keeping your systems patched with the latest updates you might find it easier to provide remote, secure access to your files using a VPN rather than exposing something like Owncloud. If you like playing with software, have the time and money to allow you to build this and get it working and don't have other users that will be upset when you have downtime because you're playing with things then go for it. Now that the common sense is out of the way let's talk about what you want to do. In fact if all you wanted to do was get access to those files that solution is likely to cost you more money and time in the long run than something simple and off the shelf. Based on your requirements you don't need freenas and/or onecloud at all. Well you already summarized my thoughts in your last paragraph. Ultimately it comes down to, epeen vs common sense and budget. This is a huge mind dump, and I hope I laid it out clearly enough to get some feedback from the community. Or, do I get a prebuild Western Digital diskless NAS like the EX4100 and populate it with a mix of drives I already have and purchase some more matching ones?.I have a hodgepodge of other 1TB and 2TB drives, nothing else matching really.
#Bitnami owncloud freenas data 770 windows
I already have a 4TB Red in my desktop, just get a second 4TB Red, Raid 1 them for redundancy, setup my desktop in the corner/closet headless and share the drive in Windows with the Laptop.The most budget friendly and maybe easiest one, but doesn't give me access outside my LAN.I picture setting up FreeNAS + ownCloud on this, which should hit both my criteria points above.I could probably get away with 2TB total storage, so for budget if I got (8) 500 GB drives in a Raid 10 i could probably make that work.At that point, will an Embedded solution be satisfactory - or do I need to go beefier on CPU power?.Would onboard controller suffice or at that point am I really looking at needed a dedicated controller card?.I'd likely go SATA III 2.5" drives, unless I can get SAS 6gbps 10k/15k drives for cheap.This opens a whole can of worms - I'd likely go used on the hardware for budget.The most exciting one, but also most excessive - SilverStone CS280 case where I'd build an mITX rig around (8) 2.5" drives.Possibility of securely accessing this data from outside my LAN.A mounted drive that's common between my desktop and laptop that I can use for general storage.I'd migrate the ~1.5 TB on the desktop to this centralized location and build from there.
I'm just talking about photos, documents, files/programs, backups primarily. As a sweet bonus, accessing these files from the WAN would be awesome as well.
I will be getting a basic used ThinkPad, but I'd like to get access to my files from the desktop and centralize them so once I do get the desktop back up and running I can easily share between the two. Now, my question or rather my situation that I'd like y'alls input on - I have an older gaming desktop (3570k, ASUS M-IV-Gz, 970 SLI, etc) but I currently have it in storage since I keep moving and don't currently have space to setup a desktop. I'm pretty comfortable with hardware and my google-fu, spent lots of time building rigs and over clocking/benchmarking back when I had time. With that said, before I dive into all that STH has to offer, I want to get my bearings straight since there's a lot I don't understand about this side of the tech. I'm no stranger to what happens when you hang around the forums and the "ideas" start trickling in, and the $$ starts trickling out.
