  1. My homelab setup has become very simple:
    - I want a linux server, mostly for docker
    - I want a network (SMB) share
    - I want the ability to backup to my buddies, and allow them backup to me

    I was an early customer of #HexOS, and if the current prices for computer parts weren't as expensive, a new NAS would already be standing next to me.

    Maybe it is time to switch anyway — do you have suggestions?

    #Synology #DS920

    hexos.com

  2. In the past 4.5 years, I've had numerous problems with the system just by using it as intended, or because I went slightly out of bounds by installing more RAM and SSDs that are not “officially supported”.

    This week alone, #Synology managed to (1) corrupt my backup integrity and not tell me why, (2) fail to download any updates, and (3) annoy me that I dared to bring my own, unapproved SSDs after the update.

    Shoutout to github.com/007revad/Synology_H for constantly bringing my #DS920 into line.

  3. I bought my #DS920+ in hopes that by giving up hardware and software flexibility through a pre-built system, I'd gain stability and peace of mind.

    So far, that hasn't really turned out to be true. Although I realize I might not be the typical user, running a few docker containers, wanting SSD storage instead of HDD only, and having proper control over the software stack are not too crazy requirements.

  4. Moved my main #HomeServer from:

    Asus PB60: i5-9400, 16GB RAM, 256GB internal NVMe SSD, 1TB external 2.5" SSD

    To

    Minisforum UN1265: i7-12650H, 64GB RAM, 4TB internal NVMe SSD, 2TB internal 2.5" SSD

    Loving #Proxmox so far!

    This home server doesn't run my NAS stuff, that's on a #Synology #DS920+

    #SelfHosted #Portainer #HomeOps

  5. So my current #NAS (#Synology #DS920+) has 36.7TB of usable storage.

    I'm using 87% of that space, and I'm considering adding more.

    Do I add a DX517 expansion unit?

    Do I sell the DS920+ and move to a DS1821+ (or similar)?

    Do I DIY build an additional NAS and use Unraid / TrueNAS?
