I had an Unraid home server that was functioning flawlessly until it began to cause me annoyance. It started experiencing numerous issues, such as when the server was online, it wouldn’t recognise if it was connected to the Unraid server website or its IP address.

I’m on the hunt for a plug-and-play NAS device. I’ve been eyeing UGreen NASync over Synology. What are your thoughts on it? (I’m primarily looking for a media server).

    Every “plug and play” NAS I’ve had has been garbage, riddled with adware and had to be firewalled from the internet. After a year they just get insanely slow because they put the worlds’s cheapest ARM SoC in there.

    Personally just take your drives out and stick them in an old PC and install truenas, or just straight ZFS on Debian. Then you can run your containers on the same machine like Jellyfin, etc.

      That makes sense. I usually like GUI OSes. Other than TrueNas what else do you recommend? Is there any OS that gives you free SSL certificate?
