I know this post should probably be on a completely different part of the internet. I just don't know where.
So here goes: I have a rather old server running. HP proliant micro. It consumes 40w and runs Windows Home server 2011. It gets a bit noisy every few months when it needs vacuuming. All in all it is time for a replacement. I've got my hands on a Raspberry pi 4 in a nice enclosure. I also have a USB3 external disk for data and two USB2 external disks for off site backup. What I imagine is installing a Linux with a desktop gui. I can connect a monitor and so on initially, but it will live headlessly and be accessed from a PC. I pretty much only need it for LMS and file server for windows and android (phone and tv) with backup to one of the slow disks at a time. On the old server I had it set up so that the backup disk would be synced up every night and once in a while I would swap out the backup disks so a reasonably new set of data lived off site. This was done with a tool called sync toy. It has been broken for years but I never bothered to do anything about it. But I want something similar on this new setup. Can anyone help me get started on this? I have dabbled a bit with Ubuntu years ago and I used to be an IT technician back when windows XP was the OS of choice. So I will be able to learn some new things. But I don't want to need to relearn a lot of stuff every time something small breaks. Yesterday I got piCorePlayer up and running on the pi. Impressive how easy that was. But it doesn't seem to be able to serve all of my needs. Thanks in advance.
