It serves essentially as a backup and media server. Today, I have a late-2014 Mac Mini running macOS Sierra hooked up to my TV with a bunch of hard drives attached. I’ve had a macOS (Mac OS) server running at home since around 2004 when I bought a Power Mac G4 Cube off eBay, followed by a first Intel-based Mac Mini mid-2007. Before the Apple TV days (remember the iTV project?), a Mac was required to stream your content to a TV, and I’ve always preferred using a dedicated Mac over a laptop. Throughout the years, my server needs have revolved around media streaming and backup. Well, for a bunch of reasons, one being that I enjoy nerding in server stuff and another that I love the Mac. I’m often asked why I go through the trouble of setting up and maintaining a home server, when I could buy a NAS that solves most people’s needs out of the box?
