I am looking for a good tutorial that explains how I can turn my older Mac mini into a NAS. I need something that’s easy to understand -ELI5 kind of style please. Long time Apple user but that seems daunting. Any ideas where to find some info?!

Thanks. Sounds manageable but now I hear that my mini might not be as simple … oh well I guess I’ll have to look for some hardware.

Interesting… I wonder what the issue is. I have run different linux distros on it before settling on OMV for the past few years. I run it as a headless server. I did recently by a Dell 7050 MFF off eBay as an ‘upgrade’ 🤣 and I am in the process of migrating to it. Good luck.
