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?

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.
