Headless Ubuntu Home Server

I built a headless Ubuntu server for cross-device file syncing, Minecraft server hosting, and personal Plex media hosting.

Overview

I used this home server project to learn how to manage a headless Ubuntu machine over SSH. I used it for file syncing across multiple devices and operating systems, hosting Minecraft servers for friends, and running a personal Plex Media Server.

Status

I had marked this project as unpublished and work in progress in my old portfolio, so this page keeps the useful context while leaving room for a more complete writeup later.
