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
