Yeah, okay, that makes a lot of sense. I asked in another comment as well. I read about “headless” servers, which from what I understood means no GUI. Would you recommend that, or use a GUI first and then move to headless when the actual server is in place?
Linux clearly is the way to go, I’ve seen. I’ve been in the Mac environment for the past 20 years so I think the very first thing to do is to install Linux on a VM. Question to that; I’ve seen Debian being mentioned a lot, is this “the best” to start with?
Linux commands and networking, two things I definitely haven’t done a lot of. Didn’t actually consider networking as I’m “just doing it locally”, but as u/atzanteol@sh.itjust.works said, I don’t just wanna run scripts or commands to get it to work and then have no idea what to do when it breaks.
That was a lot of engagement to wake up to, I appreciate you all! Thank you very much!
For anyone in the same position as me that may find this in the future, clearly the first step is to get acquainted with Linux and learn Linux commands. I feel I may have more to learn than I initially thought, but hey, that’s what free time is for right?
So, in a scenario where I’d wanna run a Jellyfin server and potentially an Immich in the future, they could all go on NAS?
Would this be command line exclusively too?
