A free, open-source, friendly home-server dashboard that sits on top of an existing Linux install (often a Raspberry Pi) -- app store, file manager, and Docker container management in one simple UI.

The dedicated, appliance-style operating system for Home Assistant -- a free, open-source home automation hub -- flashed straight to an SD card, USB drive, or run as a VM.

NFS (Network File System) shares folders between Linux/Unix machines with lower overhead than Samba — the standard choice when every client is Linux, such as sharing storage between a home server and a Proxmox/VM cluster.

A free, open-source NAS platform built on Debian, with a web UI for storage, SMB/NFS shares, and a plugin system for extra services.

A free, open-source backup solution purpose-built for Proxmox VE (though it can back up other sources too) -- deduplicated, incremental VM/container backups with its own web UI.

A free, open-source type-1 hypervisor (Debian-based) for running VMs and LXC containers on dedicated hardware, with a full web management UI built in.

Samba implements the SMB/CIFS protocol, letting a Linux server share folders that appear as normal network drives to Windows, MacOS, and other Linux machines.

A popular alternative to traditional RAID for home media servers: MergerFS pools multiple independent drives into one folder tree, while SnapRAID adds parity protection you can add drives to (or recover from) one at a time.

Tailscale creates a private mesh VPN (built on WireGuard) between your devices with almost no configuration — the easiest way to securely reach a home server from anywhere without opening ports on your router.

A commercial (paid license, free 30-day trial) NAS/hypervisor OS that boots from a USB flash drive, with flexible mixed-size-disk storage, Docker, and VM support.

A modern, extremely fast VPN protocol built directly into the Linux kernel — set up your own WireGuard server for remote access to your home network without relying on a third-party VPN provider.
