I'm becoming increasingly interested in doing this as well. What all needs to be put in place for it to happen?
My first server was an old PC with a big hard drive I setup as a network share, then installed VLC on my TV and used it to play movies
My last one was an old tower server running TrueNAS Scale that had a few other services running in addition to having a drive I can access via VLC
My new one will basically be the same as my last one just instead of a tower server it's going back to normal desktop hardware for ease of getting parts
It's really easy to setup your first NAS and I'd recommend doing a local thing first long before you try to open something up to the Internet for external access. Personally I haven't opened something up to the internet to access it remotely, but I plan to with my new one after I finish building it.
Yeah, I'm currently researching what sort of security I need to implement to open up to the internet
Likewise, I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row before I open it up to the Internet
