Can anyone share their experiences of running a NAS with ZimaOS or similar software vs just using Debian?
I’m pretty comfortable on the command line and like having full control over my system. I’m happily running Debian and using Docker Compose to run Immich, Home Assistant, Jellyfin, and a few other services. I also use Tailscale and have https setup.
However, I am curious to learn more about these more turnkey solutions. Are they worth switching to? I guess ZimaOS comes with a mobile app? Is that useful? Does ZimaOS make it easier for end users to use? Is managing ZimaOS annoying?
Is ZimaOS even worth considering if is not Open Source?
I’ve tried them all and the only one I’ve been able to stick with is Yunohost. Because it handles all the reverse proxying for you and has a much larger library.
Unfortunately it doesn’t come with any RAID management.
