IntrepidExplorerI’ve found myself at a crossroads for my journey in #selfhosting - my NAS kicked the bucket, and now that I’ve rebuilt it, TrueNAS doesn’t want to install on the fresh hardware. Debian installed fine. Combine that with the recent closing down of TrueNAS, and I’m leaning a bit towards just trying a plain old Debian server. Is it worth fussing with the installer of TrueNAS? Or is a longer term solution just actually learning Debian?
My skill set is slightly above neophyte with Linux - I run Debian on my regular laptop, but haven’t done much in anger with it. I spend more time in MacOS, as that is what I have for a work machine.
I’d like to have Jellyfin back up and running, and a samba share available on my network. Those are the core “production” needs at the moment. Is TrueNAS overkill?
Pete Keen@IntrepidExplorer I am sort of at a similar crossroads. Probably going to ditch both TrueNAS and Proxmox and go to just plain Debian + Incus if I find myself needing a VM for whatever reason
@zrail Incus is new to me (I've barely dabbled in containers so far - I know, I know, far behind the times). Debian is certainly the front runner so far.
@IntrepidExplorer Incus is neat but I haven't actually used it.
