ZeroTier on a Home Server Using the CasaOS Operating System
Main Article Content
Abstract
In an ever-evolving digital era, the demand for storage space—for both physical and digital documents—continues to grow. To address this, implementing an internet-connected home server offers greater accessibility and flexibility. A home server consists of hardware running server software, acting as a central control hub for various household services, including file storage and sharing. By using ZeroTier—a VPN technology—to access the home server, users can easily manage the system without the need to rent a public IP address. The combination of a home server, ZeroTier, and CasaOS provides a secure, efficient, and cost-effective data storage solution for a home environment. The design and implementation of ZeroTier on a home server running the CasaOS operating system demonstrate that this setup successfully creates a secure and efficient private storage environment. As a VPN with end-to-end encryption, ZeroTier facilitates remote access, while CasaOS offers an optimal private cloud solution at a significantly lower cost compared to alternatives like iCloud (approximately 51.39% cheaper) or Google One (approximately 67.47% cheaper). Users can effectively manage their own home-based storage. This technology is highly user-friendly, making it accessible even to non-technical users and an excellent choice for digital storage needs at home.
