Home Server Setup

[tbase9]

I am looking to set up a general purpose home server and I was wondering how to go about this and what hardware I would need. I tried looking up stuff regarding server setups, but could not find what I was looking for. 

 

As I said, I was looking to set up a general purpose home server. Some of the things I can think off hand that I would like to do are using it as a storage center for possibly media or files or backups, and using it to host a machine learning model such as for the spaghetti detective plugin for octoprint for 3d printing. I was planning on this mostly being accessed locally, but may want to enable myself to remotely access it.

 

Please let me know if what I am proposing does not align with how a server would operate. Also, I am not sure if this is the right location, so if not please let me know where I can post this.
