I was planning on setting up a Plex server today and hooking it up to my NTFS formatted external 4TB HDD, but I've realised I'm going to want to read and write to that disk from other computers. I had planned on using my Draytek router to get the drive on the network, but that's a non-starter as the Draytek manual says it needs to be FAT32 and no bigger than 4GB so I guess I want to use some kind of file server on the Pi too?
The Plex server tutorial says it runs on Rasbian, but I'll probably want to do a few other things eventually like try home assistant, a podcast aggregator etc. etc.
So I guess my question is which OS for:
Plex server,
File/FTP server ,
Home Assistant,
Podcast aggregator?
Edit: I think all of this can be done via Rasbian with the exception of HA which I don't need in my life right now anyway, so I'll just use Noobs / Raspbian and try and get the Plex server up and running for now. Apparently that can read NTFS ok.
