This is a quick tutorial if you want to set up a home server and have files available to anybody who has access to your wifi or home network. This home server can be any computer; it doesn't need to be a dedicated machine.

All of my home computers run Linux (because I'm a nerd), so this tutorial covers how to set up Samba on Ubuntu. All the work is done in the terminal.

Maybe you have a home server that you'd like to have some more storage space on. Maybe you have a desktop or laptop that needs more storage. In this tutorial I will show you how to add an HDD or SDD (or even a flash drive) to a Linux computer.
