jptestung 1 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I rent a debian dedicated server with 1TB in the cloud, but the storage is getting full. Adding TB to the dedicated server would cost a lot so I'm considering using an old NAS (2TB) I have at home. So emby server would still be installed on my dedian server, and I would this server would able to access my NAS at home (100+mbps) (not sure how, I read things like sambe, nfs, need to read more about these). Is it something that looks possible/good/bad ? Does emby could manage things correctly with an external NAS ? How would it behave when the NAS is off/unreachable ?
