Up till now I've been running Debian on a 2008 Dell tower as my homeserver. I just got 2 1tb drives for it so I want to upgrade to an actual dedicated NAS software to simplify how I manage it. The problem is, I only have 4gb of RAM in it. Any recommendations?

Edit: For context, I mostly use the server for Nextcloud and Syncthing but I also want to be able to have a generic Debian server with ssh access available if I need it.

My syncthing container consumes about 100 MB of RAM.

My bare TrueNAS consumes about 3.8 GiB of ram without any containers running and not counting cache.

Oh jeez, that's terrible. What is using the RAM? I'm also consuming 3.7 GB (without buffers) but I have 21 containers running (Debian stable):

  1. Jellyfin and Deluge take the lion's share out of that, about 85%.
  2. NPM, Navidrome, MySQL are the second-tier largest offenders but take 1/10th of the 1st tier together.
  3. BubbleUPnP Server, Scrutiny, Tailscale, Syncthing, Radicale, my VPN are 3rd tier, about 1/2 of 2nd tier.
  4. Then another ~10 containers with very little amounts of RAM per container (CUPS, Ntfy, my dev Nginx server etc.)

It is? Damn. I’m very much a newbie to TrueNAS. I thought it was high but had no basis of comparison. It’s a pretty fresh install. I installed jellyfin but shut it down, pending a memory upgrade to actually start using it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
