I just ordered an Aoostar R1N100 mini PC to replace my aging Synology NAS. Now I’m thinking about what to install on it. It’s supposed to work as a NAS but I also want to host some services on it like papeless-ngx and Jellyfin, which I both run in Docker containers on a different machine right now. Plus anything that takes my fancy in the future. Current candidates are OpenMediaVault and TrueNAS. My priorities are ease of installation and administration, as well as reliability. Which one would you recommend or are there any alternatives I’m not aware of? I’ve also considered Unraid, but I’d prefer something FOSS.
This person is giving you the good input. It sounds complicated because it isn’t just “install this thing”, but it suits your needs and equipment much better.
