Ubuntu Server NAS Help

[Flyguygamer]

I am trying to create a nas with ubuntu server. I am following a guide but not quite sure what to do.

 

Set Static IP Address

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.1.100

network 192.168.1.0

netmask 255.255.255.0

broadcast 192.168.1.255

gateway 192.168.1.1

dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1 8.8.8.8

 

Adjust the IP addresses for your network.

8.8.8.8 is Google DNS Server, I find this a lot better than my ISP’s DNS Server.

 

Add NAS IP Address to your Local DNS Lookup

This is on any Linux computer that you would like to access the NAS from.

sudo echo "192.168.1.100 nas.local" >> /etc/hosts

 

The NAS can be accessed via SSH with the following terminal command:

ssh user@nas.local

 

Install MDADM RAID Controller (Optional if using RAID)

sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install mdadm

Sorry to be rude but this is a bit confusing - what exactly is your question?

I understand that you don't know what to do, but where are you stuck exactly?

I am not sure what is to be done in that. I know that 

 sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

is a terminal command but have no idea what to do next.

nano is text editor. Just edit your interfaces file, just as if you were using any text processor, like Notepad for example. After you are done editing, press the keystroke ctrl+o to write the changes and to quit nano use ctrl+x.

Aaah yes ok. Like @ionbasa said, nano is a text editor. You're going to edit the file "/etc/network/interfaces" and add these contents:
