Anyone has a self-hosted file server? I have an old PC with two old hard drives, and I am just tinkering around, but I have some doubts about how to properly set it up.

  • How to handle UIDs and GIDs across machines?
  • How to handle automounting? Should I use /etc/fstab and set it up as a user mount, or use autofs?
Please write here some tips you have from personal experience :)
