Hello Community
I am currently thinking about creating my own nas to put it behind my fritzbox cable router and have my own cloud.
What it should do:
- sync photos (ideal would be to upload them to the nas directly after Shooting it) to the nas and between devices if necessary
- share photos to Family members on the web on demand (and ideal manage These Shares with an Android app)
- stream Music while in 3G Network and at home (i came to like subsonic)
- stream Video (most likely only in LAN and eventually remote wlan Environments)
- backup PCs and Android photos to the NAS (Windows 7 and Windows 8 pc) by having something like a defined Folder on each pc that is synced automatically
- on demand have a full System backup of the Windows Client on the nas
- Android apps to manage the System
- DLNA Support (eventual plex or minidlna)
- WOL Support
- high WAF (woman acceptance factor which means it should run stable and syncing between win7 , the Android device and the nas in regards to photos as well as photo sharing to Family should be "easy" and stable no beta.
- eventually some time connect a satelite Receiver to be able to Programm Videos like with onlinetvrecorder or have an automatic upload of otr Videos to the nas via internet
My Hardware is a HP Proliant NL54 with 6 GB RAM and 3 1 TB hard drives and 1.6GHZ AMD Processor.
Currently it runs on WHS2011 and is only powered up for backing up data
Now my questions are:
1. would you recommend going for OMV (yes i know it is a omv community here but i asked this in another Forum and was pointed to freenas and xpenology and omv) now it is hard to decide
2. ist it a working/good practive Approach to run OMV under ESXI so that the N54L can also host the WHS2011 in Addition (with keeping in mind to loose some power comsumption savings as the machine will no longer power down - most likely)
thanks for any Feedback
