Curious what you’ve got installed on it. What do you use a lot but took awhile to find? What do you recommend?

    I just have a Synology with 4 drives. Super basic and was very easy to set up and takes up very little space in a closet. I mount it to my Ubuntu server using samba, and then any data processing that needs to be done on that data (e.g. plex, music server, etc.) is done on the server, which is much more powerful than the little Celeron CPU that the Synology has.

    TrueNAS virtualized under Proxmox with HBA card passed through. I don’t run apps on my NAS, it’s just for storage.

    I have an Ubuntu VM running on my Proxmox server. It just exports some folders over NFS that I mount from my laptops and PC. Then I have Nextcloud running in a separate VM so my phone can upload photos. The NC storage is all the NFS mounted folders from the NAS. Simple and works.

    I run everything on a lean Ubuntu server install. My Ansible playbooks then take over and set up ZFS and docker. All of my hosted services are in docker, and their data and configs are contained, regularly snapshotted, and backed up in ZFS.

    I run basically all of the Arr stack, Plex (more friendly to my less tech savvy family then my preferred solution Jellyfin), HAss, Frigate NVR, Obsidian LiveSync, a few Minecraft worlds, Docspell, Tandoor recipes, gitea, Nextcloud, FoundryVTT, an internet radio station, syncthing, Wireguard, ntfy, calibre, Wallabag, Navidrome, and a few pet projects.

    I also store or backup all of the important family documents and photos, though I haven’t implemented Immich just yet, waiting for a few features and a little more development maturity.

    About 30TB usable right now.

        Certainly. Mostly it started as a way to keep tax documents and receipts safe and easily findable.

        It’s grown into a “huh, maybe this letter from <bank, school, insurance, charity, etc> is important, but it clutters the house less when ones and zeros”, so we scan it in.

        Then when we need info, we can just search for the name of the sender, the date, account numbers, literally anything remotely legible in the document and get lightning fast results.
