I might be a bit of a Ubiquiti fanboy. Their gear usually #JustWorks, so when they started selling NAS boxes I assumed I needed one in my life. (I mean, I really didn't. I have gobs of actual servers for file storage.)
TL;DR: I didn't. And I actively dislike it. Like a lot.
The UNAS-2 is extremely limited. I knew that going in. It's a file box and little else: no Docker, no app ecosystem, none of the flexibility you'd get from a Synology. Fine. What I didn't sign up for:
→ The iPhone backup is flaky and just… stopped, throwing "UniFi Endpoint and UNAS Not on the Same Network." They are, provably, on the same network. Nothing changed.
→ To reach it from my phone I have to use the UniFi Endpoint app. The one that also wants to babysit my door cameras?!
→ Time Machine backups are technically possible, after a fight. I haven't won that fight. I gave up.
→ And I swear the thing bumps itself off the network on the regular.
Sigh. At least it has a cute screen.
