In today's video, I will be showing you how to make your very own cloud for free! This is called a NAS and it stands for Network-attached storage. Meaning that if you don't trust the large companies with your files you can now create your very own cloud using software called FreeNAS. If you have an old computer or laptop this will end up costing you absolutely nothing! You can run software like Plex and Samba shares on it too. Making your life a lot easier.

@laurenthebert3078 4 года назад

Very nice! I want to do this exact setup but I just have three questions : 1. Will using external usb HDD work or it needs to be the internal one? 2. You said that the HDD in the comuper gets wiped when you set FreeNas up. Is there a way to instal a linus OS on the computers disk after the fact and switch between FreeNAS and Linux? 3. Do you know how is the battery consumption on this setup since the laptop will be plugged in 24/7? thanks for making this video I can't wait to try it out :)

@lowellfultz1990 3 года назад

The clearest video I've seen on this subject so far. Thank you! Hope you wouldn't mind answering a question...if I do this on a Desktop that has 2 Hard Drives, and one has Windows 10 installed, and say I wanted to boot to Windows 10 occasionally, will that be a problem? Meaning, does the FreeNAS install break Windows 10, and then when I boot back to FreeNAS, would it be broken then?

@MNWCreations 3 года назад

You should be able to boot to windows on a separate hard drive by accessing your bios and selecting what drive to boot from. Both can't be loaded on the same hard drive.

I had two issues, small but just two. First, you were showing the process really fast, a more normal pace would've been amazing. Two, you didn't really show a simple method. Other video were more simplified which made things easier to follow. Still gave you a thumbs up.

@crisscrossam 3 года назад

nice video! i just saw some unraid stuff and thought it would be way more technical or harder to set up than unraid but it seems to be pretty simple if you just want a basic NAS server. i just have one question: if i have multiple drives in the NAS and configure them into a pool, how will they be configured? which type of RAID will it use?

@piercedyouth 3 года назад

Hello. At around 3:00 into the video you say that "if you are not using a lap top which is technically, not recommended..." but you don't really elaborate on this. could you explain what you mean by that? are you saying it is not recommended that you install FreeNAS on a desktop? Are you saying it is not recommended that you install that particular hard drive into anything that isn't a lap top? Sorry, i just got a little confused as to what wasn't recommended? Thanks.

I was thinking about building hard drive array out of some old computer parts. I choose freeNAS because it uses ZFS. A very interesting filing system that make sure the files won't be corrupted.

Think you should change the title to setup FreeNAS with SMB not Cloud NAS.

@whilhelm9511 5 месяцев назад

You keep referring to docker in FreeNAS, and saying you can run anything you can run within "linux", FreeNAS is not Linux, nor does it have Docker (technically, can work with very hacky workarounds, but FreeNAS is not using docker in any capacity).

@joshuaSundeep 3 года назад

You can even put nextcloud on it so it becumes your very own cloud storage but it's owned by you.

Running minecraft server on own computer is surprisingly easy and probably even better than paying for a server if you want to host a small server. The only drawback Is it has to be on 24/7 and if the computer is crap you might have issues with TPS/world loading.

@MPG187 3 года назад

Does the FreeNAS host have any way to run GUI applications like a WebBrowser (for researching stuff and taking notes online). If a FreeNAS host has VMs, how do you access them? Can you sit at the host and access your VMs there? I understand the primary purpose of a server is to provide services to remote machines, not to run everyday desktop apps, but being able to at least access a WebBrowser or see your VMs without requiring going to a second machine to connect it...
