a server is just a computer, do you have an old $10 computer from a thrift shop? a raspberry pi for $30? if so you have a server.

Will a 5 year old laptop computer cover it?

I'm on the same boat as you. but first you need to figure out what use would you give it?
-setup some ftp, basic shit
-some torrent client

Torrenting

I'm basically the go to guy in the family for pirating media

>>55228511

No anon, not a single person on 4chan owns a server

FRAUDS.

yeah man an old laptop will be fine, maybe a little slow if you use a shitty client like vuze.

install rtorrent + rutorrent, have a nice web GUI for your pleb family to use

I use FreeNAS. You can use it for torrents and shit and it has a good documentation. Read it, follow it and the server will be secure enough. If you don't know anything about Linux/BSD you might want to use something else.

It's really nice with emby server btw. All the downloaded media is immediately on a media server and can ba accessed from anywhere.

If you want to make sure you dont have any corruption its strongly advised, but not required.
