Can I use some Linux distro as my server instead of something like TrueNas Scale?

  • As for guides? You might check out Perfect Media Server. I'm not exactly new to this, and I still learned a heck of a lot. The one caveat I'd give is don't use ZFS. By the time you're running MergerFS and SnapRAID, it provides very few advantages, and the hassle, inflexibility, and the fact that you should REALLY be running ECC RAM if you're going to use ZFS means it's just not worth it. Stick to EXT4 or BtrFS. And don't use the BtrFS RAID5/6.

    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.
