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 Traefik and dashboard is autopopulated with labels ( homepage is great, ansible-nas is sometimes outdated but can be easily fixed ) .

  • Reliable DIY home NAS/server suggestions

    - 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.
  • Is there a more up-to-date guide than this?
    5 projects | /r/selfhosted | 16 Apr 2022
    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.
  • someone please tell me linux equivalent to Microsoft Storage spaces
    2 projects | /r/sysadmin | 20 Feb 2022
    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
