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?

    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.
