Hi all. I just came to truenas from trying to setup a nas for a small non-profit organization. The easy way seems to be a Synology DS224+ that would probably just work but then I started looking at alternatives because of its limitations (resources, expandability, etc.). Also, I am running two small…

@rui Which country are you located?

Thank you all for your inputs. I believe I have my pointers as to hardware. @etorix yes, that’s the seller I got my prices from… As @etorix pointed out, my main concern now is networking since the whole point of going with a possibly massive overkill :slightly_smiling_face: would be to be able to s…

Replacing the dodgy ISP routers is very feasible, unless you’re stuck with coax and DOCSIS. The IPTV component is not difficult to get working, the only tricky hurdle is getting a fiber modem authenticated if you do not already have a separate modem (you’d need one that works with the ISP’s equipmen…

[image] rui: Portugal Then a MC12-LE0 with an ECC-capable Ryzen 3000/5000 (no need for an APU, as there’s IPMI for setting up) will come even cheaper than the X11SRM while still sufficient for your stated needs. It only lacks enough SATA ports for all bays in the Node 804, but if you only nee…

[image] rui: I am considering to bridge the isp router to a opnsense box but I still do not have a clear idea on how to approach the problem. In my case–and I’m on “business-class” Internet at home, and in .us, so things could very well be different–I was able to have my ISP put their modem i…

[image] dan: If they block ports, as many residential ISPs do in .us, :scream: Here in the Netherlands, not only does my ISP let customers open ports as they wish, it allows them to install their own cable/fibre modem !

[image] etorix: not only does my ISP let customers open ports as they wish, it allows them to install their own cable/fibre modem ! The latter is pretty common here as well. The former, well, it depends on the ISP and the port in question. It seems to be the case that most residential Intern…

[image] rui: I am considering to bridge the isp router to a opnsense box but I still do not have a clear idea on how to approach the problem. Moreover, I can do some subneting and port forwarding but my networking skills are somewhat limited as aws takes care of most of that for me. At this poin…

@dan thanks, that seems very feasible. isp here do not get in the way. I am already bridging two routers from two different service providers with no issues. @DigitalMinimalist thank you fellow countryman :slightly_smiling_face: I am using cloudflare already for both apps and doing the tunnels seem…

If you’re used to installing your apps, you may want to look into jailmaker as a lighter alternative to VMs.
