The decision is made, and the purchase is done. I have ordered a Raspberry Pi 5/8GB. The Pi is accompanied by an Argon NEO 5 M.2 NVME PCIE Case for Raspberry Pi 5 and some additional things like a mouse, keyboard, power and monitor connector.
My Raspberry project is to create my own file server and host this on my Tailnet. I will run Openmediavault to turn the Pi into my own NAS.
Maybe you wonder why all the fuss? You can buy a complete commercial NAS in any online IT store. Although money is not the issue, for a few hundred euros I can build my own. But that is too easy. The “building my own” part is especially important to me.
Nowadays, we hardly understand how things work. So this project will give me the hands-on experience, of working with hardware, software and CLI Linux. Hopefully, in the end, I will have a better understanding of how these things actually work.
I will elaborate more on this project in future posts. Stay tuned.
