Has anyone here used a Raspberry Pi as a NAS?. I'm looking into building my own for Time Machine and streaming. I've been reading on how to set it up, seems quite simple and straight forward, any words of wisdom to share?.
I don't know about virtual machines, but I know that DSM has built-in support for Dockers.
Been using FreeNAS(TrueNas) for 10y now, except for an occasional HD loss never lost a bit of data.Running two physical TrueNAS Scale servers but primarily for my infrastructure Cluster consisting of 8 hosts. My OSX client machines (OCLP MM and notebooks, Clover hackintosh workstation), Linux clients are also getting use of it.
Once i also made the mistake going the QNAP route, but never again. Those flimsy, tremedously overpriZed, embedded consumer NAS Poxes are.... let's say "you don't get what you're paying for". Not talking about their embedded software ecosystem and lastly the development route they're focusing on. I mean just one example "backup your wire tap (aka mobile phone) on your data grave" WTF?
I mean their costumers they're focusing on seem not really have clue about systems like that. Anyway doesn't matter if QNAP, Synology ... // ... IMHO they all share the mentioned above.
