OS recommendations (lemmy.world)

Its new homelab time. And with that, potentially a new OS time too.

I currently am very happy with Debian and Docker. The only issue is I am brand new to using data redundancy. I have a 2 bay NAS I'll use, and I want the two HDDs to be in raid 1.

Now I could definitely just use ZFS or BTRFS with Debian, and be able to use Docker just like I do currently.

Or I could use a dedicated NAS OS. That would help me with the raid part of this, but a requirement is Docker.

Any recommendations?

Unraid and Truenas are pretty popular. Openmediavault is less popular, but a pretty simple system based on Debian.

TrueNAS SCALE expects you to deploy Kubernetes clusters, it is unfortunately not meant for running plain Docker. You can jump through hoops to get it working but I personally gave up and ended up running a VM on top of TrueNAS just to run Docker on it.

I don't know about Unraid though and OpenMediaVault felt a bit unpolished the last time I used it and I can't attest for its ZFS support.

Truenas scale is switching to docker compose. I found this out when the truecharts catalog suddenly stopped working. more info

Holy molly, I wasn't expecting this! Well, I guess I'll try that out once Electric Eel's released
