Assembled a server with Supermicro X9DRL-IF board and an old case. I figured I wanted ecc to safeguard against corruption on top of using btrfs. Harvested old laptop drives to build out a decent sized storage array for my purposes. Rationale overall was: cheaper to assemble than a purpose built NAS that had ecc and moderate compute power, more storage expansion options.
99% of the function has been serving samba/sftp shares. Started using nextcloud w/ memories to sync and tag photos from mobile. Standardized everything I run to opensuse tumbleweed/microOS.
