[Question] Hardware recommendation

3 years ago by Ongar to c/selfhost

Hey all, I want to host a small home server as a private vpn, torrent box, Jellyfin server, small lemmy instance and maybe photo backup.. I'm looking for a NAS box or something that would be power efficient and aesthetically pleasing enough for my living room that would be able to handle those tasks. I remember seeing an ad recently for a 2 bay NAS that also had room for 2 NVME. it looked kind of like a white volcano and it had a laptop grade cpu, which would be great I think. Unfortunately I can't find the product anymore, and to be frank I don't really know if that would be overkill for my use case. If anyone has any reccomendations I would love to hear them.
