I want to make a plex nas so I don’t have to deal with Netflix and streaming services, here are some questions I have.
-
What NAS should I get? I’ve heard Qnap is good, but I want to know around what nas I should get
-
Is plex somewhat simple to setup and is there other software I should look at?
-
Is there anything else I should know?
Edit: I ended up using an old laptop and running a file share from it then installing kodi on the other devices and using it as a storage point.
The benefit of a NAS is being significantly easier to setup and use.
The commenter didn’t bother to ask what OP’s familiarity with any of this was, just said “build a thing”.
Not everyone that wants to start self-hosting needs to start building shit from day 1. Training wheels are ok.
Replace “build” with “buy” if you want.
Even a used ex-business desktop would be faster and cheaper.
Depends on how much you want to spend on your own setup. Unraid, while paid, is brain dead easy.
