Hey guys, I'm new to self-hosting; I'm trying to set up cloud storage to store pics and other content. However, I’m unsure whether to use my old computer, Buy NAS or ResberryPie to set up a home server.

Also, what is the best privacy-friendly OS to use with the home server?

Lastly, do’s and don’ts.

Any help would be appreciated (:

How can you day"low cost home server"? they cost so much and when you need them they are out of stock

They look like they’re back, and at non-scalping prices

Of course I’m still waiting for my rpi5, pre-ordered in October for a No pvember delivery
