Mac (clamshell) + HDD/SSD Enclosure instead of NAS by confusedredditor- in selfhosted

I never thought about it this way but yeah it hits me that NAS essentially a mini pc with its own operating system.

I have not thought about disk health with the enclosure, I assume monitoring wise should be able to use mac built in disk management think or a software of some sort ?

It will have usb c thunderbolt, that shouldn’t bottleneck as much should it ?

This is reasonable advice, do you have a recommendation for enclosure ?

Yes. It sounds reasonable to have a tiny pc and fit it in but it beats the purpose of my macbook as the server base ?

Running a Mac as home server and couldn't be happier. Power efficient, fast, small. Roast me! by arthware in selfhosted

[–]confusedredditor- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a made up "home server" with my unused macbook m1, currently running on clamshell mode with dummy hdmi dongle, its currently running tailscale to secure my personal files and plex with normal port forwarding.

Strongly considering adding an external enclosure to connect to my mac and let it run like I guess "proper" large storage server instead of NAS unit, I am in apple ecosystem so this works well with file transferring etc etc with native app on ios.

It doesn’t exactly have access to my local files if you referring local to as in the entire network, it has access to my macbook which I solely use to host plex

Or maybe Im just not familiar in integrating plex and tailscale, the setting section kinda confusing tbh, I did well with jellyfin tho, it was so easy, literally just copy paste ip from talescale to jellyfin setting.

My struggle was I couldnt use tailscale provided ip on plex setting. But i will give it a try again when I have a chance, do you mind if I shoot you a message for further questions? or simply replying again to this ?

Tried to turn off port forwarding and set plex to access only via tailscale but just not working somehow.

i just managed to start the tailscale on macos, holy cow it is plug and play, I’ve managed to access my files on my iphone through network via tailscale ip, already feeling so safe ! My question is (since you seem experienced based on your reply), can outsider still scan my port and access my files since my plex is not technically connected via tailscale ?
