I just used an old computer, filled it with hard drives, and ran Samba. The config file has to be edited once and its a little cryptic but its a low maitenance thing.
With samba im able to access it on all my linux machines and my husband can use his windows laptop to watch movies from it.
I wrote a few scripts that are really just fancy aliases to quickly change directory to the files from my main computer using ssh.
My main computer has no gui and im using a terminal right now to read lemmy. _
