i have a powerful desktop pc running cachyos, and i also have a very old laptop with only 4gb of ram.

i want to use my pc as a kind of personal cloud while i'm away for long trips. basically, i'd like to access my photos, movies, tv shows, music, ebooks and files remotely. i'm thinking about using things like immich, jellyfin and maybe kavita.

i don't need it to be running 24/7. i would mainly turn it on when i'm going away for 1–2 weeks, leave it running during the trip, and turn it off when i get back.

so what would you guys recommend? should i just run everything on my main cachyos pc, or should i turn the old laptop into a dedicated nas/server with something like casaos and only turn it on when i'm traveling?

is anyone using a setup like this? i'm mainly looking for the simplest and most practical solution.
