This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/servers

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Webmin

    Powerful and flexible web-based server management control panel

  • What you need then isn't a RMM, it is most likely a server accessible via a web interface. If you want to go the Ubuntu server rout, try out Webmin, I used it for a bit and if work well, but it's not the best.

  • middleware

    TrueNAS CORE/Enterprise/SCALE Middleware Git Repository

  • Another alternative which could suit your usecase even more would be TrueNas, where Proxmox is useful for a "general-purpose server", TrueNas' goal is to provide a server OS which is made for storage solutions. It also allows to make containers as needed so if you need to do anything more, you would be able to do it without any issues.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • OpenMediaVault

    openmediavault is the next generation network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian Linux. Thanks to the modular design of the framework it can be enhanced via plugins. openmediavault is primarily designed to be used in home environments or small home offices.

  • If you're building a basic server out of a PC, consider Proxmox or ESXi. You won't need RMM as such as these hypervisors are accessed via web UI. You can access them remotely over VPN as well. as to making it a NAS, again, if you're doing an overall server and NAS will be one of its functions, deploy Openmediavault: https://www.openmediavault.org/ or Starwinds SAN and NAS: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/free-san-and-nas as a VM on top of Proxmox/ESXi. If you're looking to build only a NAS, you can deploy same baremetal or also consider TrueNAS Scale: https://www.truenas.com/truenas-scale/
