DockSTARTer VS Ansible-NAS

I recommend Dockstarter if you're not that familiar with docker yet. It helps setting up everything and there's documentation available for every app.

have a search for dockstarter, https://dockstarter.com/

I found someone here with a similar problem, but their solution did not work for me.

PiHole is a pretty great project. It can introduce some microlag at page load which I solved by migrating it from a Pi4 to Ubuntu. https://dockstarter.com/

I'm using dockstarter on Ubuntu 22.04, which is like docker with training wheels lol.

I'm trying to figure out why I can't get Guacamole remote desktop to work. I'm using the Guacamole that came with Dockstarter. This is the image.

This can easily be achieved even without knowledge: https://dockstarter.com/

Ansible-NAS

Tried it a few years ago. I had some strange error when simply trying to setup an SMB share on truenas. I immediately switched to https://github.com/davestephens/ansible-nas and haven't looked back. I feel a lot more safer and in control with ansible nas.

Ubuntu supports ZFS as well. I use this at the moment which works very well. https://github.com/davestephens/ansible-nas

Right now I manage docker mule with ansible. Traefik and dashboard is autopopulated with labels ( homepage is great, ansible-nas is sometimes outdated but can be easily fixed ) .

Never used this thing but it seems popular https://github.com/davestephens/ansible-nas freenas is fine for me

Nice UI ! I’m personally using Ansible nas , I have a private fork of it and it allowed me to custom things as I like in yaml files

- NAS software and solutions: -- FreeNas or TrueNas, I heard they are good file storage solutions, but I cross them out because I read there is limited Docker or VMs support; -- Unraid, I cross it out since needs paid license I am not sure if I need all the features. Maybe I am cheapscate, but I would like to see if I can get what I need using free software first. I probably would invest if I build a proper NAS from scratch, and not reporpusing old hardware; -- OpenMediaVault. Something I am considering, but I heard it is a decent open source NAS based on Linux, has it limitations, doesn't really like USB storage and so on. -- Synology hardware. Friend has it because he knows he has no time to mess around. Don't want to go this rout since I have the hardware already. -- Roling out your own solution or using ubuntu or ansible-nas. Sounds like a great learning experience. BUT for some reason, people who create their own solution end up switching to some different framework like this guy.
