Comment on Anyone else going basic with their NAS?

Yes. And No.
I have a home made (arch btw) NAS that stores all our files - mostly via syncthing, even from remote family.
That was it.
Then I installed Immich so that we could see the photos… so… it’s technically just a NAS, but it does now have a web application running on it…
Videos & Music are on a completely separate MythTV box which existed before the NAS - I saw no point in moving ~3TB of data to a separate box that would need to be powered when I want to watch / listen to something… my NAS powers itself up & down throughout the day to save electricity (and it was interesting to learn how to make it know when it was / wasn’t being used)

Nice! Thank you for sharing your experience. :)
How did you get your NAS to know when it was being used?

I could only assume he’s using WOL (wake on lan) then auto sleeping after a while of no activity.
