There was a time around lion(can’t remember) where the mount would disconnect when the drives would sleep. I store it on a syno NAS and an old school netgear readynas (as opposed to the synology, it’s really only good for storage).Īh, you brought up a good point. I have 20+ shares that use it (no more typically then 3 or 4 remote users at a time).Īlso, how do you store your media? External Portable HDD’S? do you find they are waking up the HDD’s ok etc, no issues with MacOS remounting them once its woken?

Operating a headless PC requires remote desktop access, but in many cases compositing the desktop in high resolution is possible only when the computer detects a connected display. I would suggest getting one of those little video cheater dongles to make it think a monitor is connected so you get proper display while remote viewing: : CompuLab Display Emulator (fit-Headless): Computers &. Mac mini as a dedicated server box here as well. Thanks everyone for your responses so far Or are there third party apps that function better/ more reliable?

I was talking about purely using my Mac Mini only purpose as a Plex Media Server, and just stuffing it in my network cupboard with the router/switch (so it wont have screen/keyboard/mouse access)Īlso how are you controlling it remotely ? Anyone using Apples Remote Desktop?
