I want a NAS solution to back up my PC and host media files, but prebuilt NAS solutions are incredibly expensive and underwhelming and so I’m planning to build one. Does anyone have recommendations for a NAS interface?

I’m brand new to server management and would prefer something user friendly. I have used linux mint, but currently use windows as my daily driver (planning to switch to mint soon). I’d be fine with a dedicated NAS OS or with something I could run on mint since I’m already familiar with that distro.

Thirded. TrueCharts has been a monumental pita. Looking forward to docker compose in the fall with the next version of TrueNAS is released.

Wasn’t aware they were integrating docker-compose, that’s the perfect solution. I got so fed up with TrueCharts that I’ve been considering nuking my NAS and reinstalling OMV or something similar, but I guess I’ll wait it out and see what happens.

@windlas @jerb @linux I started with truenas, but trying to install an app that is not in truecharts is a mess. Finally I moved to proxmox and I can install whatever I want in a container or VM. It’s really easy to learn how to use it. I totally recommend it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
