As someone who's been in IT for 25 years as a systems administrator/engineer, I have no idea how you maintain enthusiasm to make videos about this stuff every week.

I love how Chuck actually shows how to deal with the errors by actually including the errors in the final cut, not just editing them out and saying in the final cut "I got an error and I fixed it by doing XYZ". This is the most real tutorial around.

[ryanmurphy]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Completed this project from start to finish in just a few hours with your guidance. I now have a NAS full of pictures of my dog. 10/10

I stumbled upon this video while searching for ways to build my own personal NAS. The step-by-step instructions in this video were easy to follow, and the end result was nothing short of amazing! I couldn't believe that I was able to build my very own Raspberry Pi NAS with just a few simple components. It's truly a game changer for anyone looking to store and access files remotely. Thank you so much for sharing this video, it's AWESOME!.

Using this video as a foundational baseline, I just completed setting up my Raspberry Pi 4 NAS using 4 x 8TB external 3.5" HDDs. I used OpenMediaVault (obviously) along with the MergerFS & SnapRaid plug-ins to achieve the RAID component. After all said and done, a little over 21TB of usable storage space on my new NAS. Thanks for a great and inspirational tutorial! The steps provided were perfect!

It’s nice to see someone else have errors for EVERYTHING they do!

[agoddamnferret]

For anyone who's not aware, if he hasn't explained it in another video the && tells bash, run these 2 commands but check to make sure the 1st one completed successfully before running the 2nd one you could run it with just & and it would run the 2nd command without that check.

Raspberry Pi comes in this week and this will be the first project I shoot for with it. You make this stuff exciting. Don’t stop, this is exactly what the IT field needs is people passionate and excited

[kwatkins]

Note: anyone currently following this how to video may have noticed that OMV has changed some of their interface and how to do things. Just wanted to say during the part where you add a shared folder, you need to apply changes after setting up your attached HDD then you can select the HDD when setting up the shared folder. Otherwise your attached HDD doesn’t show up as an option to chose from.

[nabbsone]

Dude, I have been in IT for 30 years.. Its the daily grind but recently found your channel and can say you make me excited to be in this field. Thanks

[comedyclub]

I laughed because of that "General Settings" joke more than I should have.

[mikkonurminen]

Could you do a tutorial on how to set up off-site/WAN access and rsync between RasPi NAS and home NAS? And maybe an owncloud setup while you’re at it :D
Thanks again for a great video!

[Pronuss]

This tutorial is just amazing. I love that you show the errors you encounter and also how to solve them. Its so frustrating to follow a tutorial and encounter bunch of errors that doesnt occur in the video. Thanks for that

Dear Mr. Chuck,

Your channel is just too useful for our modern world.

I'm a Linux Sysadmin and Network Administrator as well but never bothered to build an online presence or even do the social media thing... I valued my privacy and also the amount of work the socials meant was a mindful for me...

I thank you deeply for the work put into these videos that helps from beginners to advanced users.

I appreciate it. You're making a lot of people benefit from all over the world 🌎.

Cheers!

[kingdaghost]

Love it and i will try it. I've always wondered how to do this and watching other people's videos explaining things gets boring quick but yours make me feel excited to learn more stuff. Also I have already done a headless installation of the raspberry pi following your video. Thank you for everything.

[muffinberg]

if you could have raid this would be a really good solution. I can't think of a NAS without having a raid setup.

[chrisjmartini]

I built this with the metal case, power supply board and an internal SSD. This thing has been running flawlessly for the last 6 months. I SSH into it once a week and run updates. I stream both audio and video within my home network and even to my car remotely playing music. It will stream lossless audio and 4k HDR video with no issues. Scrubbing and skipping using fast forward can be a little slow and laggy at times, but the performance running on that little pi 4 is pretty amazing. Thanks for the guide, Chuck!

'Ill have all these commands below if you want to follow along' (Oh yeh, where)

Not seeing the install commands in description :( your face overlay in the corner is blocking seeing the full commands too.
