My NAS was once a Windows box with HW RAID, then a Linux mdadm, and now FreeNAS.

I've been through many iterations of technology and software on both the HTPC client and server side.

Back in the days when an HTPC essentially meant running an S-video cable from your PC to your TV so you could watch a DVD from the PC's optical drive. I used to be a huge HTPC person, back before that acronym was even created. My blog, which includes some stuff about how I use FreeNAS Ubuntu VMs running Onlyoffice, Crashplan, Mattermost, Pi-hole and some things via Docker Unbound 1.8.3 replaced with Pi-hole 5.11.4 running in a VM NGINX reverse proxy 1.16.1_11 with Certbot 0.38.0_1 replaced with NGINX Proxy Manager 2.9.18 running on Hass.io Pi Nextcloud 24.0.5 (PHP 8.0.20) with Onlyoffice (via VM) Home Assistant 0.106.6 Hass.io now running on a Raspberry Pi 4 This seems kinda wrong to me, because the operating systems should be tuned for specific purposes.Ģx120GB Crucial BX500 SSD (Mirror) for bootĨx8TB WD80E(Z/M)AZ (RAIDZ2) (1 RMA'ed after 12 months)Ģx1TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD (Mirror) running the following jails and VMs:Ĭalibre 4.7.0 and replaced with Calibre-Web 0.6.19 running in a Docker container On the other hand, maybe people are putting the HTPC and NAS in the same box. Isn't that what the HTPC is for? Personally, I would use a Pentium J5005 for the HTPC and put FFmpeg or VLC on it, as that seems natural to me and my research so far indicates it _should_ be powerful enough.
Pardon me, but isn't this missing the whole point of the NAS? It's a file server, not a media system. My confusion comes from the amount of people who think the transcoding should be done by the NAS, getting obscenely powerful CPU's for the NAS, maxing them out, and then complaining that the NAS isn't powerful enough to transcode 4K video in "real time". Then, output by HDMI or DP to the screen (projector, in our case).
You know what I mean.Īnyway, part of this assumption was that the data gets streamed over the network and then transcoded to the desired display for by the small, powerful-enough, but inaudible, HTPC machine that site on the bookcase. For audio, 16/44, 24/96, FLAC (or archive-quality lossy). For video, a lossless rip from DVD (or, say, 4k). It would simply store raw multimedia at high resolution. I was assuming that the NAS is just a file server that specializes in redundancy, and serving up files for stream. I've been planning to build an HTPC, where all the multimedia data is stored on a NAS.
