I have my father’s old work PC (one of those Fujitsu Siemens models) from yesteryears. It features:
- OS: Ubuntu 23.04
- CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 (I forgot the clock speed in GHz).
- RAM: 8 GB DDR3 1600MHz (Single Channel).
- Storage: 128 GB SSD (installed in 2020) & 1 TB HDD (also installed in 2020).
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 620 (or was it GTX?).
I am considering using it as a file server since my laptop only has a 256 GB SSD, and I need more space to store my files on the old PC. But the question is, do I need a home server? When is a home server necessary?
Any sources or information on how to set up a file server with a PC would be greatly appreciated.

Add some memory and hard drives and slap TrueNas or Unraid on it.
8 gigs is not enough? I’ll try, may you provide some links on TrueNas and Unraid?
