- [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en ES File Manager]]: This is a pretty good file manager for Android that gives the possibility to access the NAS remotely through mobile/wifi networks. With this app you can replace any other 'cloud' stuff. However, it is full of unwanted crap. I'm just still using it while I don't find a better solution.

There are few software options to this in the web (please refer the links provided below). However, none of them were exactly were I was looking for. So I wrote a small set of Python scripts, called [[https://github.com/ldemattos/pySleepWake pySleepWake]]. In this set there are two Python scripts: the first 'sleep.py' must go in the server and the second 'alarm.py', should be placed in the device that will be turned on all the time. The controlled variable used to suspend the NAS was taken as the network rx and tx traffic average in a given time window.

Here in my house the NAS doesn't need to be on 24h/7, it would be an waste of power and also annoying extra heat and noise. So I've decided start it on demand. To accomplish this it necessary other computer able to wake up the NAS, since it is necessary to 'sense' in the network that some other device is looking for the server and also must capable of sending 'magik packets'. The other computer that I'm using to do this task is one Raspberry Pi 2.

In order to have some redundancy and not trow away I've decided to use the RAID software available on linux with [[https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_setup mdadm]]. I'm using RAID level 5, which permits to miss one of my tree disks without loosing any data. As file systems I've played safe and chose EXT4 for / and XFS for /mnt/storage.

- [[https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-copy-files-with-rsync-over-ssh rsync]]: is a very well known file synchronizer in Unix world. Its main purpose here is transfer files in bulk to NAS. Was very useful to very the first NAS population. Nonetheless, I still use when I want to perform a 'full' backup or make sure that client is in sync with the NAS.
- [[https://syncthing.net/ syncthing]]: This program constantly verifies for changes in clients/NAS (here the update is bidirectional, if desired) and keep both in sync. I do not use for my entire home directory, only for specific and most important folders that are frequently altered.
