self-hosted VS Ansible-NAS

Revolt aims to be an open source Discord alternative, looks like it would fit your use case

Not familiar but they seem to allow self hosting: https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted

I'm having the same problem! Saw someone opened this issue so hopefully we get a response soon.

Pretty sure with donations and nothing else since it's not Discord or Guilded and could be simply selfhosted by everyone. (In fact there is even a super easy docker container that you can pop up in under 3 minutes: https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted)

You can host parts of it if you look at https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted

Not an up to date article, but if you're interested in an alternative which also has portainer for some management, I've used https://github.com/davestephens/ansible-nas in the past with great results. It's managed with ansible, but all docker containers.

Not exactly an answer to your question but you may find it useful. https://github.com/davestephens/ansible-nas

Thanks for all the responses, I read and watched a lot about ZFS again tonight after posting this and my only thing I'm not sure on is if I can have the SSDs as a write cache or like how storage spaces does tiering. so, I'm going to start with Truenas core. I also found this other project which looks really good and that I might consider later on down the track: https://github.com/davestephens/ansible-nas

Great writeup! I'd also shout out the ansible-nas project as an in-between option for people who want a more hands-on experience than TrueNAS while still having some automated maintenance.

I'm using ansible to deploy containers on my nas setup, forked from here https://github.com/davestephens/ansible-nas

First I will point you toward this project: https://github.com/davestephens/ansible-nas Which uses ansible to define and manage your docker containers. There's initially no GUI (this is actually a good thing!) but you could probably install Ubuntu with a GUI if you need it before setting up your drives or whatever. After you have configured everything to your liking you can end up with a webui for docker (portainer) and a dashboard linking to the webui for all of your services (radarr, traefik, etc.)
