As the title says i am currently considering switching away from TrueNAS Scale.
My system has a Celeron N3160, 16gb ram, 2x18tb HDD as a zfs mirror and ssd storage for os
My usecase is mostly just as a local storage and media server with *arr stack and jellyfin.
Some of the reasons why i want to switch:
-
Truenas claims a full drive for the OS, no way to partition off something
-
no automatic updates (i get why it might make sense for stability, but as a basic user i probably value the convenience higher)
-
there've been issues with truecharts breaking the ability to update and the solution seemed to be to just reinstall the applications
-
applications sometimes don't show up on start and i have to restart
Overall i think TrueNAS Scale might be excellent for some, but i am just not quite the target audience. So i just want something simple that works.
Now that Unraid supports ZFS that would be a consideration, but i don't really feel like paying (however i am not completely opposed, if its the best option).
My first idea was Proxmox, but thinking about it a bit more i probably don't need the flexibility and it just adds more levers that need adjusting.
So the current frontrunner would be OpenMediaVault for a simple NAS setup that doesn't need as much flexibility and is low maintainance.
I assume the setup would be pretty straight forward and i can just import my truenas zfs pool and install whatever docker applications i want.
My questions would be:
-
Is OpenMediaVault a good choice for me? Or is there anything better?
-
Any up/downsides compared to e.g. something like a simple ubuntu server?
-
Is there anything major that i would miss out on by not going with proxmox?
