I’ve recently gotten into homelabs I’ve got a Mini-PC running Immich and Home-Assistant
I’d like to setup a NAS for the Immich server to save media to.
I’m very new to the game and only recently started looking into this.
One requirement for me is it must be Open-Source. TrueNAS?
What hardware would you recommend? Having 2TB for now with the ability to expand it would be great, a small size would also be ideal.
Synology seems to be the go to brand for most folks. They have a solid OS and take their security pretty seriously.
If you want to have more fun you could grab a small x86 NAS (ugreen/terramaster) and flash it with truenas.
Synology aren’t Open-Source so that’s a deal breaker for me.
One of the main reasons I’m getting into homelabs etc. Is to take back control of my software and data.
If Synology decides to lock away features behind a pay wall they can.
TrueNAS sounds like the way to go for me, I’m just clueless what hardware would best fit my needs.
