Building a rackmount storage server 24 min read surprisingly, i don�t have any backups of my stuff. apart from my microserver gen8 freenas replication project which was necessary for my photos and personal media i don�t have any backups of my vm hosts, laptops or machines i use everyday which is very, very bad.. How to build a home server using freenas by will smith on march 4, 2015 at 8:53 a.m. i've been running servers in my home for about a decade. after fooling around with underpowered machines, i'm ready to build a bigger server for my house.. The first step to building cheap cloud storage is to already have cheap storage, and above we demonstrate how to create your own. if all you need is cheap storage, this may suffice. if you need to build a cloud, you�ve got more work ahead of you..
To build your own ultimate home media server, you�re going to need some kind of network-attached storage system, commonly called an nas. this is basically a mini computer with at a hard drive. The build goals here were simple and the server would fulfill several roles (a) my physical vcenter box for my esxi lab, (b) a san for the house, holding my 16tb+ media collection, (c) iscsi targets for the esxi lab and house computers, (d) a backup target for all lab vms and house computers, (e) storage for video from my outside and inside cameras, and (f) a subsonic media streamer for when i. Unboxing my chenbro rm23212 storage server chassis, as well as an lsi 9211 8i raid card, and a 400w supermicro power supply. i will be documenting the entire build, from assembling the hardware.
