For me, it started when I first replaced my 500GB HDD with a 128GB SSD in my laptop. As it was much smaller, i had the need for a NAS. I did not have the money for it, but I had an old PC and some used HDDs.
Now I run 3 node docker swarm cluster with a dedicated machine for storage, for video sharing, password management, document managemeny, photo management, server mangement, personal accounting, streaming service replacement, device backup, dns server. And these are just the services I use daily.
