Choose a lightweight OS for your low-power NAS server to ensure efficiency and stability.
Choose a lightweight OS for your low-power NAS server to ensure efficiency and stability.
You're looking for a reliable home server or NAS with Linux, suitable for basic hardware (8GB RAM, 2GHz quad-core CPU). You want something easy to manage, secure access via web or SSH, and the ability to run lightweight Python scripts continuously. You mentioned interest in options like FreeNAS or OpenMediaVault but found them confusing. You're open to suggestions for safer setups and extra features such as media servers (e.g., Plex) and synchronization tools. You'd like expandable storage without risking system stability.

08-28-2016, 02:10 AM #4This guide explains how to set up webmin on an Ubuntu server. You can manage it using your browser—just let me know when you're ready to install in a VM, and I'll walk you through the steps. To get webmin running, run the following commands: wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webad...20_all.deb apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python sudo apt-get -f install sudo dpkg --install webmin_1.820_all.deb. If issues persist, retry the installation. Once installed, access the webmin interface via the machine's IP address (use port 10000) on your network. For more clarity, watch a short video that demonstrates the process—it can help a lot.
Currently I'm still refining this, but I'll update later. To set up Webmin, follow these steps: (REMEMBER: if using Putty or another SSH tool, copy the commands instead of typing them manually) For Putty, visit http://www.putty.org/. Ensure the required role or feature is installed on your Ubuntu system. You can install it with: sudo apt-get install openssh-server. If you need visual guidance, run: apt-get install -y openssh-server.

I encountered a few issues with the VM I’m using. Despite restricting its resources, performance remained subpar and recording problems persisted. The other video is complete and processed, so I mainly shared setup instructions in this thread—though I also learned a lot along the way. I’m really proud I got through it!
