Build My own NAS #

The time has finally come to build my own NAS as my old synology DS713 is too old to handle my storage need. It is a 2-bay unit with a Intel Atom CPU. Since I’m considering starting using plex transcoding. That Atom chip ub Synology is not able to handle any 1080p transcode. Also my archive of BDRip and Photos keeps increasing. The 10 TB RAID1 setup is currently 60% used. Although I can somehow delete some unused file to free up some space. I deciede it is finally time to build a DIY NAS to support muiltple spinning disks.

This is the first time for me to use jekyll to host my blog. Maybe ‘host’ is not an appropriate phrase here since jekyll is only a tool to generate static HTML pages. However since I’ve never used an blogging tool like jekyll. Everything is pretty new to me. Ruby is new to me. nginx is a bit new to me(though I do have limited experience with it). So as this is my first blog post using jekyll. I’m gonna to log who I went through to deploy a blog hosting site on my VPS.
