I just ordered an Aoostar R1N100 mini PC to replace my aging Synology NAS. Now I'm thinking about what to install on it. It's supposed to work as a NAS but I also want to host some services on it like papeless-ngx and Jellyfin, which I both run in Docker containers on a different machine right now. Plus anything that takes my fancy in the future. Current candidates are OpenMediaVault and TrueNAS. My priorities are ease of installation and administration, as well as reliability. Which one would you recommend or are there any alternatives I'm not aware of? I've also considered Unraid, but I'd prefer something FOSS.

I use freeipa and the only luck I've had with integrating that with storage was by rolling my own with rocky Linux.

Before that truenas worked well, OMV is good for Lower power machines that can't handle full phat zfs and needs ext4 based mediums.

Apparently TrueNAS are building FreeIPA support in their next release. It is currently in beta and I'm waiting for the release to test it.

Good, it always kind of pisses me off that the premier open source NAS package supported AD which EEE'd several open source protocols instead of something like FreeIPA.

I get they're a commercial company and this is their product, but they could've still had the decency to put that on the same level.
