Can I ask, what is the advantage of a Debian server over a True Nas one? Asking because I set up True Nas and wondering if I should switch it to Debian
True nas is nas software that moonlights as a server. Debian is a linux distro commonly used as the operating system for servers due to its incredible stability and reliability among other things. So reliable infact that it’s used as the operating system for true nas scale! So unless your using the core version (that runs bsd) then your already using it.
As far as rawdogging Debian on your hardware goes, id recommend against it unless you’re looking to seriously up your admin game. No web interfaces, lots of time in the terminal ( command line ) and more configuration files than is anyway reasonable. And we haven’t even started on virtual machines like proxmox ( also Debian based! ) or container critters like docker and kubernetes. (Iirc true nas uses kubernetes under the hood)
We’re chilling right now (: Don’t let the gun mislead you. They sure do have a bad rep. spins gun around finger It’s not actually guns that kill peop- shoots self in foot.
Might as well… we would’ve probably gone to jail instead anyway, because they think they know me better than myself. It would’ve been so romantic though: they’d come banging, shouting some gibberish about unauthorized use of emergency frequency and arson. We would’ve shot two bullets back through the door, shouting back, backup failure IS an emergency, and how you personally don’t take shit from no one.
