  • If all you’re building, and all you’ll ever use this for, is a NAS, the simplest route is TrueNAS.

    Personally, I am not a fan of docker for prod, as one bad update or config can bring the entire forest down. Same for LXC.

    If you want, plan, or think you might want, to use the baremetal host for other services, proxmox is the way to go. Think VMware, but not run by a greedy evil empire. With your planned hardware, you can run two full services comfortably, or up to 4 mini services. Increase ram to 32gb, and you open up your world to a some really cool possibilities.

    Again, it all depends with where you want to go, not just where you are now.





  • I use raid5 on an HP server, and am dealing with 2 drive failures, because HP’s qc is garbage. Raid6 would have saved me here, but it’s not really likely to have 2 drives fail simultaneously, so… yeah.

    I recommend looking into 321 backup, too. Raid isn’t a backup solution, but it seems you already understand that and are trying to do that.













  • I used WordPress (the self hosted one) and Drupal. They were both fine for my needs. I’ve never used Grav, so I’m not sure how it compares. As for making it look better, I think it’s more important to the user that the site is usable and easily navigate-able. I know those were the main things I looked for in niche sites. Of course I preferred that they didn’t look like they were plucked out of 1999, but as long as I could easily find what I was looking for, I didn’t care that much. I guess what I’m trying to say, is that I hope you find exactly what you’re looking for, and that your users appreciate you for your efforts on that front, as well as the content itself : )
