It’s heavy and it doesn’t like if you tinker with the box in Non-TrueNAS ways.
In the end it’s a convenient shiny gui for ZFS and NFS. But it (or ZFS) needs some RAM (minimum 8 I think), so I’m not sure about it working on your old laptop.
the GUI makes it pretty painless. it was my first real attempt at self hosting anything, my first experience with any kind of NFS/SMB setup at all. i was running it as bare metal for around 2 years before using installing as a vm on proxmox.

this looks promising. Seems a little heavy-weight at first glance… How was it to get up and running?
