It's my first time building a server and I'm feeling ovewhelmed. Looking for guidance on building a dedicated mini server.
First time server builder here. I am currently running plex from my desktop, but I want to set up a dedicated server for it so I don't have to leave my pc on all the time. I have 3 hdd drives in my computer (2x10tb, 4tb) that I want to move to a server set up. Can anyone point me the right direction for building a mini pc server? I have built a couple computers but I'm pretty new to homelab servers, networking and I'm just feel overwhelmed with all the different stuff out there.
I'm currently 3d printing the lab rax 10" server rack. So I'm looking for something compact that I can fit in there. Any advice, guides, or recommendation will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
