  If you’re familiar with Linux, I highly recommend it. The flexibility is just great and you can setup whatever dashboards / management tools you need. No need to tie yourself to a specific solution IMHO.

  If you’re going with Docker containers, a lot of the NAS OSes just hold you back because they don’t support all the options that Docker offers. You’ll be fighting the system if you need to do any advanced Docker configuration.

    Thank you!

    I’m not familiar, yet. My background is MS OS but going back as far as CLIs so I’m confident I’ll learn fast.

      If you want reliability, keep your NAS as a NAS, and run everything else in VMs. Don’t run applications on the same system as NAS stuff. If you screw something up, you’ll have to rebuild the whole thing. Run your applications in a VM at the minimum, that way you can just blow it away and start over if it gets fucked, without touching the NAS.

        I feel like containers work just as well for the “blow it away” usecase though and it doesn’t have the VM overhead.
