It has become an absolute essential on my network and I have even being using it as a parental content block (I might have another article on this in the future, but feel free to comment below if this is something that interests you and you may get me moving a bit quicker on writing that up). Pi-Hole is fantastic and can block almost all advertisements with a notable exception being YouTube adverts. However setting up a virtual machine is a good second option. Unfortunately Pi-Hole is not available in a BSD flavor and so we can’t install it in a jail, which would have been ideal. Pi-Hole originated as software to run on a Raspberry Pi (hence the name) but can now be used on a wide variety of Linux platforms. Pi-Hole is a Linux network-level advertisement and Internet tracker blocking application which acts as a DNS sinkhole, and optionally a DHCP server, which you can use on your home network to block traditional website advertisements as well as advertisements in unconventional places, such as smart TVs and mobile operating system advertisements. In this documentation we use the last raspbian version running the kernel 4.9.Installing Pi-Hole (PiHole) as a Virutal Machine on your FreeNAS server is an excellent way to free up your Raspberry Pi, consolidate all your services on a single server and to save a few buck on your electricity bill. We assume that the operating system Rasbian is already installed and running on the Raspberry PI.Ĭonnect your Raspberry PI to the Network via a wired connection or via WLAN and open a terminal. Make sure you have access to the terminal or logged in to the Raspberry PI via ssh a connection.įor the file storage we need a external USB Hard-drive with a storage capacity of your choice. 5.1 Requirementsįor this project we need a Raspberry PI2 or Pi3 with a running Rasbian and ready connected to your network. The goal is to save files on the NAS server and share them between different computer clients. In this document we want setup a simple NAS server from scratch, based on the SMB protocol. We’re going to use Raspberry Pi Imager to install Raspberry Pi OS Lite onto your microSD card. ![]() These application packages are easy to install and comes with a Web-Interface to configure and manage the storage and file sharing to other users in the network. Alternatives NAS Server on Raspberry PIĪs an alternative to your own NAS you can use ready build NAS storage server applications like Openmediavault, Freenas, nas4free and more to install on your Raspberry PI. This all makes the Raspberry Pi an ideal candidate for your own small NAS storage system. Due to its small size, the RaspPI can be placed on nearly any place. On the other hand, the RaspPI saves a lot of money because it consumes a very small amount of energy. Raspberry Pi is a mini-computer with the full performance of a Linux-based operating system and contains almost all functions of a large server system. In this documentation, we use the newest “Raspbian Stretch” operation system, released at with the kernel version 4.9. ![]() Also, there are a couple of alternative operating systems available for the Raspberry Pi. The optimized operating system for the Raspberry Pi 2 and the Raspberry PI 3 is Raspbian, a free and open-source software based on Debian. ![]()
