    Back to Sierra Server from Catalina on my late 2012 mini

    I just wiped the boot disk of my little server from Catalina and went back to Sierra Server. The reasons are simple: Content caching that works nicely. TimeMachine that always works. A Server interface that makes control simple and tells me whether all the Macs in the house are getting backed...

    How does M1 perform as a server?

    I was tempted to name this thread, "GoFundMe: help me replace all of my servers..." :D Hypothetically, has anyone seen impressive benchmarks on the M1 performing as a server?

    A Most Elegant Home Server

    Recently moved into a new place with my partner and while I'm a :apple: addict she'd rather I don't infest the vibe of the whole house with tech. We like to play Minecraft together on our own server and I like hosting other simple servers from home. I was using a 2007 Mac Mini but the 3GB Ram...

    Sierra is the last full Server option

    After a full day of comparison between High Sierra and Sierra as a Home Office Server, I reverted to Sierra as the main OS. I had been running on High Sierra, but the full functional control from one interface is superior. It also makes debugging Content Caching easier. Now, if I could just...
