3Dprinted a 10" rack sustem for my start at a home server - hosted by a HP EliteDesk 800 G6 Desktop Mini PC - 16K, 256nvme and a 900gb+ssd. it will have up to 4 external 500gb+ ssds - and maybe a 4tb 3'5" hard drive or so ...

The operating system is a problem - tried PROXMOX - too hard - am trying Ubuntu Desktop & installed  docker and virtual box - will see what containers and pre-built vms' are out there

So Far, installing and setting up samba was an utter failure - it was the operator not the software - it is just too fiddly...
