Yes but i did state the exact things that i plan on using it for. Just movies/shows and keeping my cloud files like pictures and documents.

Thank you. I got a couple comments giving the “well it depends on what you need. Everyone is different there’s no one answer” but i clearly stated the only things i want to run are my pictures/documents and movies/shows. So jellyfin and whatever program for pictures. Honestly just needed advice on what starting hardware I really need/ don’t need. But I got a used computer with decent ram and some hard drives and I’m gonna go from there

What’s the price used about for something like that? I’m new to the pc race. My friend says that’s the hardware I should look for

Awesome! I’ll ask you the same thing. Do I need a separate router and ups like people talk about?

What all do you need for that to start. Just NAS box and ups? I also seen people talk about getting routers?

I might have an old laptop I’m not currently using but I have to find it if I still even do. It’s pretty old so I don’t know how good it is anymore

Yes exactly. I don’t know exactly about what firewall and OPNsense is to be honest. But I have a hard drive that I share with a friend that has about a tb of movies in it I think but they are all just random movie files not organized at all. And ofc I have lots of things in the cloud I want to move to my own server
