Hello
I’m looking for a NAS OS, the hardware is 2bay Intel n100 machine (AOOSTAR R1), I want to run a RAID1 with few containers (syncthing, immich, jellyfin etc.) all of it to be configurable by web interface, tried some systems in a VM (hardware didn’t arrive yet), casaos has nice ‘app store’, it’s a nice docker wrapper, but it doesn’t let me manage any kind of RAID (md, brfs, etc), openmediavault is ok for raid, but the containers aren’t one click wonder like in other NAS OSes, TrueNAS SCALE seems to be an obvious choice, zfs is cool and everything but it uses kubernetes and it failed to deploy immich for example (100% CPU), i know its called SCALE but kube is a bit too complicated to me (IMO I’m 100% competent but i don’t want to tinker), and there’s… xpenology, this thing let’s me install Synology’s DSM and it’s a breeze, it deployed immich right away though i had to do it with docker-compose.yml, but in web UI. Also let’s say im in favor of xpenology… should i go bare metal or use it inside of proxmox? any pros and cons of both solutions?

Next truenas version replaces kubernetes with docker compose - you could try a nightly to see if that works for you
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.
TrueNAS has some built-in kinda appstore, OMV on the other hand docker compose isn’t that straightforward, first you need to add some unofficial repo, then install docker compose, then configure it
Right, totally forgot about that step.
