Oh, nice!

I’m still on TrueNAS CORE and thinking about where to move next.

So far, I’m very impressed by Sylve, but I’ll keep an eye on this too.

PS: While preparing to move to TrueNAS CE, I converted all my jails to VMs, so I could just import them after migrating. But by doing that, I removed my need to move from CORE, as I don’t have jails based on out of date FreeBSD anymore!

Could it be doing remote backup during downtime? That could be somewhat compute intensive, if the data is also being encrypted and compressed for the remote target.

Are there no ways to peek at running processes and resource usage on a Sinology NAS? I’d start with that.

Also, how old is the device? Maybe it is overheating due to dirt/dust buildup and some cleaning up and re-pasting would solve the issue.

I use mTLS with Caddy to expose some of my services. It is quite manageable, and I only use if for myself and my wife.

We both use Android phones, and I configure access via apps for the services, that use the devices’ certificate store. It seems like the iOS way is to provide the client certificate and password to each app that’s gonna use it. I’m happy we can avoid that.

Big plus side for us is the simplicity of it all, there is no “always on VPN” requirement, and things “just work” with acceptable security.

I also sometimes access the services via Firefox, which is also able to use the device’s certificate store, although I have to keep selecting the same certificate each time.
