File synchronization: BitTorrent Resilio Sync + Automator So all the iPhone photos are directly saved in a specific folder on the server and available everywhere. The other good thing about Plex is that there is a camera baclup feature. The good thing about Plex is that you can create user accounts with permissions which means that I can share my photo folder with someone and my movies with someone else It works both on the local network and outside. My medias are then available from my two other MacBooks, the iPhone, and the iPad. I simply tell Plex to look for specific folders in this external hard drive and it crawls them quite quickly. You can then stream your medias from any devices, as long as the Macserver is up and running.

What motivated me in the first place is that I got hold of a lifetime license of Plex, which precisely offers a software that turns your computer into a server. It's connected to my fiber network via Wi-Fi but when we'll have finished re-arranging the office room then I'll plug it via Ethernet. I installed Insomniax, a small freeware which prevents the laptop to go to sleep when the lid is closed. But in the end, I believe that I'll probably sleep the computer at night and have it up all day long, except when on holidays or out of town for a weekend it will stay up 24/24. It sites on a USB tray which incorporates a fan to cool down the whole thing - not that it is hot at all but if it has to stay up forever then I'd rather help any heat dissipation. I plugged a regular 2.5" external drive which already contains lots of stuff in it like movies, photos albums or videos. It's powered by a Core I7 with 4 GB of RAM and I had previously removed the sluggish 5400 RPM hard drive by a 256 GB SSD drive.

A few days ago, I decided to give it another try so I just plugged a regular USB Mac keyboard. The keyboard is acting up and the sound is gone. So about 6 months ago I spilled my coffee on this 2012 MacBook Pro. If that setup fails in the long run, then I'll probably look around for this hack. But I guess I wanted to see what I could do myself first. And I could probably do that on my MacBook Pro. Now I know that there are some hacks which consist in installing DSM on a traditional PC.
Also, that'll cost you around $700.without hard drives.
Those are merely dual/quad core chips, but there's a huge difference compared to the ARM-based processor embedded in the low-end hardware. But to have decent performances, whether for video decoding or for generating photo galleries thumbnails, then you need a high-end model which comes with an Intel chip. They got tons of apps available everywhere. To be honest, I previously owned a Synology NAS - 213J - and as I said before, the whole idea is very well conceived. It enables me to manage medias, file synchronization, and remote desktop/files access.

So I recently took the challenge to set up my former MacBook Pro as a personal server. I have always liked the idea of having my files accessible from anywhere. The ultimate geek quest, in my opinion, is ubiquity.
