    openmediavault is ok for raid, but the containers aren’t one click wonder like in other NAS OSes

    Since OMV also uses docker compose with a build in GUI to manage them, I don’t assume this would be what OP is looking for either? Unless trueNAS also comes with some repository of preconfigured compose files.

    Bloat and bad performance aside, you don’t see a benefit in having a all-in-one solution that in a way acts as a drop in replacement for people wanting to switch away from the likes of Google/Apple? I certainly do.

    Yes, having a dedicated app selected for each use case will likely give better results. But it also means more management. And many users don’t actually need more than basic functionality.

    But yes looking at the complaints, they should look at polishing existing features first.






  • Somewhat late reply, since i didn’t have the time to start my conversion to OMV sooner. Definitely looks nice and installation was easy.


    You are spot on that my first issue has partially to do with permissions. Following a guide at the time i structured my media library to some level with data sets in my zfs pool on truenas scale. But those apparently are more like filesystems rather than just directories. Which makes the whole giving permissions for my dockeruser a bit difficult (and also otherwise seems a bit less then ideal for OMV).

    So since i wanted to structure it slightly different i made a new shared folder on my zfs pool and directories for my media in there and moved a few test files. Downside now is that this solution would mean that i have to move a ton of files, which would mean a ton of writes to my drives.


    Apparently they changed that in one of the recent updates, but so far i really like the setup with docker compose. So much easier than the whole deal with applications in truenas scale. Copy+Paste stuff into a file, change some variables and a full stack of media applications is up and running so fast.



  • If I remember correctly, OMV takes the whole drive for the OS as well.

    I’ll take a look into that. I know that there are benefits to that approach, but i have a limited number of slots for drives and i’d rather not use a full SSD just for the OS. I’d ideally also run some applications on the same drive.

    I love the ability to really experiment with pretty much anything without impacting the services already running

    I’ll probably do my experimenting somewhere else and just keep the NAS as simple as possible




  • That depends. I don’t think Intel actually wants to be in the market for whole (or barebones) systems. they probably would much rather just sell the processors and leave the rest to others. The NUCs were just a tool to kickstart the market, which seems to have worked quite nicely. The only issue being that now both AMD and Apple are strong competion.

    So under that assumption this withdrawal makes a lot of sense, especially now that they need to focus all of their resources to catch up in their main business segment.


    Didn’t Valve make similar comments for the steam deck? That they see it as a tool to create a new market and hope that others follow.

    Even if someone else were to make a much better handheld. As long as it runs Proton/Steam Valve would still win.
