Ansible-NAS VS budibase

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 Traefik and dashboard is autopopulated with labels ( homepage is great, ansible-nas is sometimes outdated but can be easily fixed ) .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.

Budibase is great at generating CRUD apps based on a model.

Congratulations to the Airplane team.

Is this Airtable moving in the direction of low-code rather than no code? Puts them up against tools like Budibase [https://github.com/Budibase/budibase] and Retool [Https://retool.com]

I skipped to chapter 9 in the article ("Clogged"), and it looked like Pipes failed because it didn't have a large enough team or a well-defined mission. As a result they couldn't offer a super robust product that would lure in enterprise users. "You could not purchase some number of guaranteed-to-work Pipes calls per month" is the quote from the article.

The reason I think that interesting is because that's the model these days for everything from AI tokens to Monday.com seats. It makes me feel like Pipes was before its time.

That said I've been collecting different "business glue" products that are similar to Pipes. To me, like you say, they aren't as interesting, exciting and intuitive as Pipes was, but maybe it just takes a little more digging. I tried to focus on open source tools but some aren't.
