Always blaming security bullshit. I anxiously await a community fork.

Volker Theile (lead dev of FreeNAS 2006-2009) maintaines OpenMediaVault, based on debian, version 8 was released recently. Not a drop in replacement, and it has its own quirks, but no evil company in the background

I’m running an early version of that on a 16 year old ARM board NAS, the NAS has 256MB of RAM and OpenMediaVault runs great on it.

I love it so much that I donaged twice to the project. There are also some easter-eggs hidden in the software, like quotes from Dune.

Looks like no zfs support?
infeeeee@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
It’s not in their by default, you have to install the omv extras plugin, from there you can install zfs: wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv8%3Aomv8_plugi…

I question why this gets recommended so much when we discuss truenas.
Without a doubt zfs is one of if not THE reason to go truenas. It does so much more for you than other filesystems.
I guess OMV at least has btrfs but not the same thing.

ZFS is in the omv extras repo: wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv8%3Aomv8_plugi…
As it’s just plain debian under the hood you can use any basic debian stuff, e.g. I use zfs-auto-snapshot from apt, and the zfs plugin can list and manage the snapshots perfectly.

I have it on my installation, you’ve got to replace the kernel with the proxmox one, it’s fairly easily done by installing a plugin
infeeeee@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Since omv 7 it works with the default kernel, you can install the proxmox lne though if you want that.
