Quick update on my NAS experience with OpenMediaVault... just wanted to drop a few notes as I dig into TrueNAS Scale in the coming weeks.

https://rasterweb.net/raster/2025/03/31/openmediavault-update/

Trying to decide if a 2-bay NAS is overkill (for me who does not know what she's doing anyway) and if a single board computer like the Zima board is enough for a start.
The latter is decidedly cheaper too.
You know, for a start into the home server thing.

Any advice? This is your chance.
Just to be clear: I've been researching this for months, maybe even years by now. I have ideas about which NAS to get (if I should go that route), and I am mentioning the Zima board deriberatley (instead of a Raspberry Pi). So I'm not a super clueless noob noob. But still unsure enough.

I just bought a lifetime #plex pass, after trying it for 6 months or so. I only use it for #plexamp to stream #music #flac from my #synology #nas to my #linux laptop, #rpi with #allo #boss2 #dac and #android phone. I also created an account for my almost 80-year-old father so he can join my server and library.

I came from #roon which I enjoyed a lot, but due to different reasons I made the switch. Plexamp provides such a seamless experience, I really can't wish for more. Keep up the good work!

Hmm, I was using the TrueNAS interface through a browser and it became unresponsive... seems to have rebooted itself. Weird. Does not instill confidence. (Could be hardware of course since I'm running it on trash.)

Hey I got TrueNAS Scale up and running, added three old crappy disks, created a pool, dataset, SMB share, and connected to it. I only glanced at the docs and mainly figured things out. Took a while though...

TrueNAS is definitely a lot more complex than OpenMediaVault, but also seems much more powerful, but will I need/use that power?

Hast du dir einen neuen Synology NAS-Server zugelegt und fragst dich bei der Inbetriebnahme, welches RAID du verwenden solltest? In diesem sehr kompakten Beitrag möchte ich beschreiben, welche Möglichkeiten du bei der Einrichtung deines NAS-Servers hast und für welches RAID ich mich entschieden habe.

New week, new (old) hdd. Starting to run some tests on this boy, if everything works I can finally start to expand my #nas , I’m using a very good article from @ironicbadger to perform these tests. It’s my first time using an enterprise hdd and I’m surprised how loud this disk is. #homelab

OK, #tailscale works together with #pihole , I'm very happy. It is also installed on my #synology #NAS

Next step: disable all Synology-related #portforwarding on my #router (especially 5000, 5001 and 6690 for Synology Drive).

I can't understand how to use my #DSM without those ports being forwarded. Do I need to autorise them somewhere? How does it work in conjunction with #QuickConnect or synology.me ?

Thanks!

My DeGoogle Journey is going great so far!

Moving away from Google and big tech has been both fun and surprisingly easy. Here are some of the recent switches I’ve made:

Gmail → Proton Mail
Google Drive → Proton Drive
Chrome → Vivaldi
Google Search → Ecosia
Google Home → Home Assistant
FB Messenger → Signal
ChatGPT → LeChat (Mistral AI)

For streaming, I’m exploring ArteTV alongside other free Scandinavian services.

I’m also looking into Plex as a long-term alternative. Seems like I’ll need a NAS for that—any recommendations?

Do you use Plex? Please share your tips and experiences.

Ok, pergunta aos universitários: Precisei remontar o meu NAS, que também rodava meu jellyfin (pra tentar aproveitar um pouco a placa de video onboard pra fazer decodificação de vídeo). Antes utiliza o jellyfin instalado nativamente no debian. Estou pensando agora se é melhor manter dessa forma ou usar algum container (não sou lá muito fã de docker) para facilitar o backup e atualização do jellyfin. E aí, qual sua opinião?

Ok, a question for the experts: I had to re-do my NAS, that also runs my jellyfin instance. I was ruinning on the nas trying to get some advantage from the onboard intel gpu for video decoding on jellyfin). I used to have jellyfin native installed on debian. I'm thinking if it's best to have it as a container not a great fan of docker) in order to make it to backuo and maintain the jellyfin install.
So what would YOU do?

Estoy buscando recomendaciones de #NAS porque la verdad es que no tengo ni idea de como va esto. Qué recomendais para un uso 100% casero y que va a servir como gestor de copias de seguridad y para servir vídeos a través de la red local?

He estado mirando opciones como Synology pero honestamente no sé siquiera si es una marca recomendable o solo están por el nombre y poco más, así que una manita me vendría genial

Unraid 7.1 Beta importiert fremde ZFS-Pools

'Member how I was kinda bragging about my FreeBSD NAS's 21-day uptime? Well, I attempted to reboot, just for the heck of it (because why not)...and some shit happened.

The reboot process took a while to stop PIDs, and I saw there was a "naspool has been suspended (uncorrectable I/O failure)" error printed to the console. About 40 minutes later it's still stuck. It appears to have hanged, so I had to do a hard reboot. I searched around on the web for this error and found some forum posts, but none of them seemed to have any doable solution. I've gathered that the common thread in some of the forum posts of this error is that it has to do with USB storage, and my naspool is connected via USB.

It booted back up, and the naspool seems fine, but for some reason bhyve doesn't work anymore. I have my web services in a bhyve Debian VM, so those are now (still) down. Bhyve was working before the reboot. When I run the bhyve command to launch the VM, it appears to boot but then it just stops and returns to the shell. No bhyve processes are running.

I suppose I can try reinstalling Debian in a QEMU VM, but I feel like bhyve /ought/ to work.

Does anyone else know of a good self hosted ebook library server that can be used with native multi-platform reading app support and sync reading progress?

I really don't want to read books from a web app, I want to be able to read while offline whether on my iPhone, iPad or my Boox e-reader (Android)

I love the way BookFusion works, but I don't want to rely on their cloud storage (or any company's cloud storage for that matter)
