I want to start in the world of networks and servers and for that I got a PC with the following main features:
- AMD ryzen 5 5600g
- 16GB ddr4 ram
- 240gb nvme SSD disk
- WD Green 480gb SSD
- WD Blues 1tb HDD Disk
*In the future the idea is to add a modest graphics card such as a super gtx 1650 or an rx 6400
The idea is to learn about the deployment and different uses of home or small business servers. Such as:
- Create my own Google Drive using Nextcloud
- Create a VPN
- Host game servers
- Host websites
- Host a media server (using Jellyfin, radar, sonar, etc.)
- Use automated flows like n8n.
- Maybe run some AI models.
- Learn to use docker.
I have seen different options in various tutorials, forums, news. From rhel, Ubuntu server to TrueNAS Scale.
That some are better for some services than others, that others have a better friendly native interface, that compatibility, deployment, etc. etc.
Frankly, I get dizzy and I don't know where to start and in what order to have a less complicated learning curve to gradually advance.
Anyone who is already advanced on this path and can give me some guidance, guidance or advice, please, thank you very much.
