Hello all,
I am based in Australia, Melbourne so any Aussies on here with any advice would be greatly appreciated but would be grateful for any input from anyone.
Over the last few months, I've slowly been trying to educate myself on Truenas and now Truenas Core using a mix of youtube, forums, reddit etc. but with so much information out there I feel a bit lost.
I know there are many build guides, lists out there but they mainly seem to revolve around the US/Europe so the price and availability of parts here in Australia are quite different.
I have a Lenovo workstation that I have been playing with Truenas core and really like everything about it so I want to migrate from a Synology NAS that currently host all my data.
I have now finally decided to build my very first rig and was just wondering if anyone in Australia has recently built a system (given the chip shortages etc) part availability and cost $$ doesn't make it a great time to build anything here in Australia.
I have a budget of $2K including storage.
The use case is just pure storage hosting media, music, movies etc, document store
connections from a Linux server running docker for various applications but this will be run off a different host and a handful of windows/apple devices
