This is a request for a tutorial, I would really like to use linux lite as a home server as it run with very low overhead, I have never ran a home server, but word on the street is linux distro's are perfect for running them. Wanting to know if anyone has setup a home server with linux lite(or ubuntu derivatives) and if they wouldn't mind taking the time to write a tutorial on how one would go about making one with linux lite.
Now because I have never ran a home server I am not sure of all the options available for linux, but the following things would be nice...
* File server
* Torrent down loader
* Streaming media(videos,music streamed to TV and other devices)
* Static IP so you can access files outside of your network VPN?
they are the main functions I can think of, I am sure there is more things you can do with a home server, It would be nice to administrate all this from a web panel or something similar that is simple to use, But still secure.
I personally would be very grateful for a tutorial as I am sure others would be also.
