Máy tính cũ Core 2 Duo E7500, 4GB RAM có thể dùng làm NAS cho file học tập, công việc. Đủ để truy cập từ điện thoại, desktop và 2 laptop. Không dùng được TrueNAS (cần 8GB RAM), nhưng có thể dùng XigmaNAS, FreeNAS CE, hoặc OS nhẹ như Debian + Samba/Nextcloud. Hoặc dùng OpenMediaVault (nếu hỗ trợ). Ổ cứng nên dùng SSD để boot và HDD lưu trữ.

@curtosis @mazhe just an update. I transitioned to #XIGMANAS since #zVault still has not had an update in 6 months. I may go back to it later but Xigmanas is up to #FreeBSD 14.3 so it is further along. Still learning, but I am using @BastilleBSD for my @jellyfin jail configuration & management. Things could be easier but they are at least working. 😁👍🏾

Are you looking for #XigmaNAS ?

@mwl I'm happy with #xigmanas and its IRC channel is helpful. It does not support running docker containers, though.

Been playing around, #openmediavault only suggest RAID1 or 1+0, #Rockstor fails to install, #XigmaNAS fails install obscurely, so back to #TrueNAS.

Might also have to investigate the boot SSD.

Sooner or later, these kind of commercial solutions will be knowing enshitification (exclusive use of branded HD is just the beginning).
With #OpenMediaVault or #XigmaNAS you can use whatever hardware you want. Give them a spin in a VM to try!

@curtosis @mazhe Thanks for the suggestion everyone. Upgraded & now running #ZVault just fine. If updates don't happen, I can always move to #Xigmanas later since there is a preview of 14.1 available. #RunBSD #BSDSuggestions #BSDHelp #BSDAdvice

Have you heard of #xigmanas ?

So is anybody using #zvault instead of #truenas?
I want to redo my NAS-Setup soon & was wandering if there is a truenas successor or if I have to look at #xigmanas instead?

I require my NAS to be BSD-Based and I'm not sure if I have the time to just role plain freebsd and get the health monitoring and all right withing a sensable amount of time.

More important to have a stable thing running then the most minimal thing I can build.
