NAS OS with a web UI

Hello

I’m looking for a NAS OS, the hardware is 2bay Intel n100 machine (AOOSTAR R1), I want to run a RAID1 with few containers (syncthing, immich, jellyfin etc.) all of it to be configurable by web interface, tried some systems in a VM (hardware didn’t arrive yet), casaos has nice ‘app store’, it’s a nice docker wrapper, but it doesn’t let me manage any kind of RAID (md, brfs, etc), openmediavault is ok for raid, but the containers aren’t one click wonder like in other NAS OSes, TrueNAS SCALE seems to be an obvious choice, zfs is cool and everything but it uses kubernetes and it failed to deploy immich for example (100% CPU), i know its called SCALE but kube is a bit too complicated to me (IMO I’m 100% competent but i don’t want to tinker), and there’s… xpenology, this thing let’s me install Synology’s DSM and it’s a breeze, it deployed immich right away though i had to do it with docker-compose.yml, but in web UI. Also let’s say im in favor of xpenology… should i go bare metal or use it inside of proxmox? any pros and cons of both solutions?

Unraid or Truenas for open-ish thing.

Synology for paid products.

I’m using truenas for my homebrew setup. I need to buy 2 more drives and start planning on rebalancing my setup, but this is how it looks right now.

The next release of TrueNAS SCALE in October is dropping Kubernetes in favour of plain Docker/Docker Compose. That may be worth a look?

Fuckin about time. Their implementation sucks.

maniel OP ,

Lol, nice, I’ll look in October then, also there’s a (LTT backed, TrueNAS based) HexOS in the works, zimaOS (casas based complete OS) seems to have a proper RAID support but I wasn’t able to check it out in a virtualbox

Open media vaulteverything you need.

I dragged my feet for over 2 years after building my homelab and not putting proxmox. I highly recommend you start out with proxmox right away. It has its quirks and learning curve, but it’s been a breeze after “getting it”.

At first I didn’t want the files inside LXC filesystems because I was used to manually poking at folders and such. But the periodic backup and restoration that gives you its the best, bar none.

I rebuilt my setup after a faulty data cable destroyed my btrfs raid0 filesystem (I know, I knew it was dumb, but I had 8tb at my disposal and I wanted to use it dangit!). Long story short, my borg-based Nextcloud AIO backups were borked and took like 3 days of research and external drive juggling to get some of the stuff out of them. With proxmox it’s a single click to get the whole thing back up and running.

Also you can use helper scripts as a sort of appstore, including turnkey appliances

Next truenas version replaces kubernetes with docker compose - you could try a nightly to see if that works for you

openmediavault is ok for raid, but the containers aren’t one click wonder like in other NAS OSes

Since OMV also uses docker compose with a build in GUI to manage them, I don’t assume this would be what OP is looking for either? Unless trueNAS also comes with some repository of preconfigured compose files.

maniel OP ,

TrueNAS has some built-in kinda appstore, OMV on the other hand docker compose isn’t that straightforward, first you need to add dinner unofficial repo, then install docker compose, then configure it

golli ,

Right, totally forgot about that step.

Checkout my super recent post history. I’m doing something very very similar.

Basically I’ve decided on Debian for OS, docker plus Portainer and dashy for interface, and mdadm for raid 1.

I’ve tested a raid 1 failure and rebuild on two thumb drives I have, and have everything well documented. Feel free to ask any questions.

Different software does different things. I’ve tried them all and haven’t found anything that can do them all with any degree of reliability.

golli ,

Haven’t used it myself, but similar to casa os there is also cosmos os, which looking here seems to offer some build in storage management options. Maybe this could be worth looking into?

maniel OP ,

Thanks, I’ll check it out, testing TrueNAS nightly at the moment😁
