A few months ago my NAS broke, it was due to some obscure CPU bug. Even though all the HDDs were working I could not get it to boot.
I decided to build my own home server that would host these HDDs and do much more than just a NAS. I now have a home server that does the following:
- Livebook Machine Learning rig (featuring CUDA)
- Network attached storage
- Windows 11 VM
- Much more
I set everything up using Ubuntu, LXD and ZFS. If you’re interested in learning how it all ties together then read on.
