I have an old x86_64 computer which I am planning to use as a NAS. Which of the 2 is a better option? Is it helpful or better to run on bare metal or as a VM on proxmox?
I chose to run TrueNAS Scale.
But I have a travel kit on a couple of RPis that consists of OpenWRT + OMV with some Docker containers.
I seem to have the opposite experience of other commenters. I find TrueNAS Scale very intuitive to use. The only issue I have with it, are some Truechart apps (it seems to usually be ones that require a ingress)
OMV is okay. I find it really hard to navigate the UI. It feels like something from the 00s.
I tried proxmox but gave up on it. I just could not figure out Permissions for portainer. Nothing worked. But I guess that’s on me because everyone loves proxmox
