    To all the friends I never met:

    I am running a homeserver with all my music, videos, books, articles, source, etc. here is how you do it↓

    • get a old desktop computer
    • install gnu/linux on it
    • connect it to your router through ethernet
    • install nextcloud
    • install samba, create a smb partition on your new server
    • mount the drive into your regular computer, phone, laptop, tv. smart-stereo.
    • enjoy all your music from anywhere without cluttering your devices with music, movies or books, or articles, or , or, or
    • I usually just use vlc to access any media on my smb share :D just works
    • get the nextcloud-client for phone and your other devices and access your smb share that way if you like and upload fotos, video or music there. :D

    Thank me later (also if you use ALL linux devices you can skip the smb part and just use netdriv
