BanaNAS - home made NAS solution
I always want to have own home NAS solution. But projects on market not satisfying my needs. One day I talked with cooworker about some kinds of Pi machines. He mentioned BananaPi. BananaPi is not fully opensource hardware but it have: SATA connector, 1Gbit ethernet port, 1GB RAM. Ultimate features for home made NAS solution. At least for me.
I used bananian linux for now and this is list of features:
- Torrent downloader - transmissin with webui and level 1 blacklist from iblocklist.com
- NFS server - mounted on FreeBSD and Linux stations via autofs
- Samba server - mounted on Mac OS X station via autofs
- FTP server - old good FTP - used now by VLC on old iPod for streaming mp3
- Remote access - I decited to use tmate.io for remote access.I can reach my home network even when I don&t have public IP. When system starts, mail is send via ssmtp (connected to gmail account) with connection ::qstring.
- Web server - List of interesting parts of my home network (list of network devices), primitive remote shutdown (html file is watched by inotify and when is accessed then
poweroffis called). - DLNA server - I can play some multimedia files on my XBOX 360. Subtitles are not supported :/.
Still in progress:
- FullHD video acceleration
