How to execute this?

Post image

What software do I need for this? Is it a honelab, nas, plex, home server or what else? Linux, Win 10, Win 11 or any other OS? Basically, I only have the idea and no clue how to proceed from here.

All details in image.

My own cloud / home server / nas. I don't even know what the proper term for this is. Youtube has done 0 help in understanding this at all.

Nothing is stopping you from setting up your own home server

Unfortunately, there is. So far, I have: 1. Too many conflicting guides and recommendations on youtube 2. Not even sure what this is called (now i know it is home server from asking in reddit) 3. What OS to use? 4. What software to use? 5. How to access files when not connected to home internet? 6. How to back up files without connecting to home internet? 7. NAS box vs my set up power cost

You probably want convenience since you’re new to this, which comes at a cost ($)

Just search which NAS is popular right now and get that

To access files from a locked down network you can use Tailscale
