You know that old laptop you have lying around that you don’t know what to do with, but nobody would buy it if you tried to sell it, but you don’t wanna throw it away at the same time? What if I told you that you could not only find a new use for it, but that you’ll be using it for all sorts of tasks, no matter how weak it is. Want a personal media server to host movies and shows? You got it. Want network storage for your whole house? That too. Want a VPN to your home network? You’re not gonna believe this… I’m Chris Kalos, I like computers, and today I’ll be showing you how to set up The $0 Home Server, a home server with the ESSENTIALS for the average user. (Jellyfin Media Server, Samba network storage, Wireguard VPN, Wake-on-LAN)
