best tutorial video for simple NAS setup.

[DND]

Good day to you folks at LTT forum, just wanted to ask for a good video tutorial on setting up a simple NAS setup. Me and my friends at school are tasked to make a simple NAS for our project in school and I'm not yet fully learned how to build a NAS. Thanks in advance.

 

Edit: BTW i forget to say that we will be needing at least 4 drives for the nas

You guys want to make a NAS out of a PC?

1. Install FreeBSD.

2. Choose all defaults

3. Add these options to rc.conf and exports. https://www.unixmen.com/setup-nfs-server-on-freebsd/

4. Congrats you have the most basic of a NAS. Next assignment.

 

I don't know if school instructors think this stuff is harder than it is so they give these kinds of projects or what. "Setting up a NAS" at it's basic level is literately something that takes less than 5 min to do. Also the fact that they think this is a group project is laughable. What the hell would anyone else do?

Stick with stable. whatever stable is. (11?) FreeNAS wasn't for a while holding the same release numbers with FreeBSD but I think they are now? Release FreeBSD is 11.1

Yes, you can try the new beta GUI on freenas 11, but the default GUI is the same

So the beta gui on the freenas 11 is the same with the one on the video? In that case I won't have to struggle following all the steps on the video tutorial?
