    I sidestepped all this crap by buying Synology in 2014 and upgrading 2 years ago. Sure, it isn’t FOSS, but it is very nearly plug and play.

    I configured OpenVPN for when I want to use it remotely, and self host my music, video, and family photos.

    Having the 4 drive RAID-6 gives me some security from the danger of losing data between backups.

    I store all my scanned documents, ocr’d, and keep the paper under control.



  • I set up the mount points in configuration as dynamic NFS volumes and added Bookmarks to nautilus. You can get to the volume either with cd command or right-click -> terminal here. You can shut down the NAS and only lose the share, which returns when the system goes online.

    This is much better than WbDAV, which is fine for simple sharing or for devices that can’t handle NFS easily like Android phones.
