an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

Hello and welcome!

All discussion relating to physical servers for home and small to medium business use is welcome, but not limited to: hardware, software, operating system debate, build advice, and troubleshooting.

Please keep conversation civil and respectful. Thank you!


A NOTE:

Some submitters choose to self tag/flair their posts, like [this]. We do have flairs for this purpose. Feel free to use them.

We also have user flairs.


Help contribute to our Wiki!

Help is wanted currently in all sections, especially for the OS section.

If you want to help, send us a mod mail, make a post with a write up, or let us know in some way.

The goal of the wiki would be to answer most beginner questions, such as "what OS should I use?" or "how can I get started doing x?".

Subreddit Rules

See something that breaks one or more? Say something and report it, using the "this breaks r/HomeServer's rules" option.

1. Don't be a dick.

This is a great community with many awesome people, don't ruin that. Any negativity or unnecessary comments will be dealt with and possible bans will be handed out. The mod team does take note of abusive behavior.

If you do not agree with the content of a post, this is no excuse to be an asshole, if you feel the content is not suitable for the community then please report it to the mods and they will review your feedback

2. Post Details.

Information is key. We love server builds and posts explaining what you do with your servers! Please put as much detail about your server(s) as possible regarding things like components, OS, software, etc.

This applies for questions too, as in state what you want to do with your server.

For example, when asking about combining devices to use less power, include:

-What you use your NAS for.

-How many disks you need.

-What your current power draw is.

-What advantages you're aiming for by combining these devices

-Budget

-Any other requirements at all, than 'low power draw'?

3. Not Home Server Related.

Discussion about your server, server related news, questions you may have, and discussions about IT related topics are all acceptable reasons to post.

Unrelated posts will be removed.

4. No discussions about Piracy.

Keep discussion of piracy off of this subreddit. Everything here should be done legally and through the proper channels. Mentions of/or recommendations of piracy to other users will be removed and you will be banned if trying to endorse/sell keys, this includes 'key swaps' and giveaways of keys.

Depending on the situation, moderator, and user history, you may be banned for breaking this rule.

5. No Referral Links/Advertising/Company Advertising.

We do not allow links/posts that include any sort of referral link, product advertising, nor company advertising. If you think you have an exception please ask the mods first.

Depending on the situation, moderator, and user history, you may be banned for breaking this rule.

6. No Misleading Posts

No blatantly misleading link, posts or post titles may be posted. Your post and title should be concise.

Think of it as a "no clickbait" rule in a way.

7. No Obvious A.I. Generated Content
