I was thinking about changing my server’s OS (currently using Ubuntu server)
Which would be the best in the case of only using docker and ZFS?
I thought that Debian would be more debloated and efficient but I need a Web UI and from what I have seen TrueNAS is very complete and is not absurdly slow, let me know your thoughts!
Maybe have a look at Proxmox. It’s a Debian-based hypervisor with a web UI and ZFS support. However, while many people host Docker on it, it’s not shipped with it by default.
I’ve event heard of people running Proxmox as a workstation just because it’s a stable Debian based distro with official ZFS support (remember Proxmox even supports being installed onto an existing Debian install)
What do you need the webUI for? What’s the use case? Here are a couple for you:
For simple file management and sharing, you may use FileBrowser. It’s a single binary written in Go, just download and run.
If you’re looking for a more advanced and generic server management solution, then Cockpit is a good option. It’s available from Debian’s repositories and provides a UI to manage users, storage (including RAID), firewall, system services and even virtual machines. Can also manage Samba shares.
Cockpit uses the same system tooling you would use from the command line. You can switch back and forth between Cockpit and whatever else you like. It wont pollute your system like other solutions and there are dozens of extensions for it.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
