How to turn a dell wyse into a nas!

In this video we will install Ubuntu Server on a Dell Wyse 3040 thin client and set it up as a basic NAS with FTP and SMB capabilities. This tutorial will also work for any other Dell Wyse or Linux computer or VPS. Prerequisite: Install Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS Plug in your drive AFTER it's installed Commands: lsblk #find drive mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda #replace sda with your drive name - eg sda - /dev/sda or sdb = /dev/sdb #keep note of any partitions, in case of partitions, it will look like sda1, sdb1 or similar. blkid /dev/sda #again, replace sda with what it actually is #copy the UUID, NOT the PARTUUID or anything else, just UUID mkdir -p /mnt/mydrive #create directory to mount it sudo nano /etc/fstab #add the following to the bottom: UUID=the-uuid-you-copied /mnt/mydrive ext4 defaults 0 0 sudo mount -a #apply changes sudo apt install samba swdd2 #install the SMB server #change ownership of the drive to the current user and fix permissions sudo chown $USER:$USER /mnt/mydrive chmod 775 /mnt/mydrive sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf #add below Shared path = /mnt/mydrive browseable = yes read only = no guest ok = no create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775 sudo smbpasswd -a $USER sudo smbpasswd -e $USER sudo systemctl enable --now smbd ip a #use this to find your NAS's network address
