Off The Shelf NAS

there's xpenology (rogue firmware mod to run xenology linux on a pc). get compatible hardware, enjoy your 40% cheaper storage with interface for normies.

That's actually an interesting point. I know they are behind on versions but anyone have some insight into running this?

Well, its a shady botnet sort of thingy, but yea, got it running for family over a year ago, DSM 5. The thing has yet to bug out. UI glitches are the same as synologys, frequent, but normies are ok with it. DSM 6 is out now, but didn't have anything with that yet.

Security updates are behind a lot. If you must expose the thing to the internet, at least put it on non-standard port, better yet, setup a separate nginx proxy on it with independent .htaccess and point that on the internal http server gizmo, iptable out the non-proxy out from the outside. The thing is a swiss cheese mess, you definitely don't want to rely on their auth if it's in the wide open.

I have a DS216+II. Though, I really doubt you'll ask anythign you can't look up on their forums or sub reddit.

That's actually the model I'm initially looking at. $300 before drives seems like a lot. Do you have any issues running software or anything else on that model?

>Synology
It just werkz

If you're gonna dick around with xpenology and custom hardware you may as well go all out and install a proper CentOS/Debian server

No issues although that's such an extremely general question I'm not sure how my answer would be useful. Have you even tried the demo on their site?
