If you have a Raspberry Pi, some USB hard disks, and a little spare time, you can roll your own NAS on a budget.<\/p>\n<p>To do so, you\u2019ll need to prep your Raspberry Pi with a Linux operating system, Samba support (which allows the creation of Windows network shares), and NTFS support, among other steps. If you prefer Macs, you can use your Raspberry Pi for Time Machine backups as well. There are several ways to go about the details, but we\u2019ve written a guide about it that you can consult for more ideas.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build_a_Low-Cost_Media_Center\"><\/span>Build a Low-Cost Media Center<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although the popularity of Netflix and other streaming services has made home <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> centers less popular these days, if you still have a library of digital video (including home movies) you\u2019d like to stream over a local network, you can install software called <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/kodi.tv\/\">Kodi<\/a> on your Raspberry Pi that can let you play videos, display photos, record live TV, stream files from the network, and even play some games.<\/p>\n<p>To set it up, you\u2019ll need to download Kodi for the Raspberry Pi, a microSD card with enough storage, and optionally, a FLIRC infra-red interface if you want to control your new media center with a remote control.
