If you want a sovereign NAS it is usually best to build your own. That way you know what you're getting and can pick between two good NAS distro options: TrueNAS and Rockstor. While there are other options these two stand out from the crowd.

If you want a commercial open source device from Europe then buying a Rockstor system from Broadberry Data Systems seem to be pretty much the only option.

TrueNAS devices can be bought from iXsystems, but that means buying a devices from an U.S. vendor, which is not optimal from digital sovereignty perspective.

Broadberry Data Systems, an UK-based company with multiple offices around the world offers Rockstor-based storage servers in the enterprise price range.

OpenMediaVault-based devices don't seem to be available at all.

Rockstor is an open source NAS distribution based on OpenSUSE Linux. Its developers are based on Portugal and development is community-driven but there is some commercial support available for those who need it. Rockstor feels pretty modern and well-maintained and is not tied to any single company.
