Hello all !
So then due to the taste of Gnu Linux as Debian 12 & 13 on my computers, i would like to have a free software Nas with perhaps Truenas.
In fact it would be perfect if i could have a wan portal access as on Synology with a domain name ?
Thx a lot for your futur life and GNU Linux for ever ^^
YoG
Is this AI generated content?
Anyhow, I would not ever put a TrueNAS, Synology, or whatever NAS on the internet. Way too many folk jiggling the door handle and trying to get in (ie shodan, among other methods).
Instead, at the very least, consider tailscale, wireguard, IPsec, or like VPN approaches that have a proven track record of keeping private information private to secure the NAS behind.
A VPN is also arguably easier to maintain than the much bigger potential attack surface of a NAS being kept on the internet.
I think the post is just language translation and not AI.
Hello both of you and thx a lot for your answers.
Ooooops sorry for my bad english level, i do my best ^^
Ok il will think about your answer !
Have a good day 
Regards.
Hello,
I switched from a Synology NAS to TrueNAS. I will never go back to Synology. TrueNAS meets all my needs. Performance is far superior—though that obviously depends on the hardware—and TrueNAS is much more open in every levels, both hardware and software.
I have a domain that allows external access to my WordPress website and Nextcloud.
All my applications run in Docker.
Performance is excellent.
VoilĂ .

Portal as in a file browser in the webGUI?
TrueNAS does not have that. IMHO with good reason, since it is a security nightmare. Synology does not really care about security, so it is not suprising that they offered it.
Depending on what you want, syncthing (just file sync) or Nextcloud (share files wiht external people) might be what you are looking for.
Hello @claude and @Sara and thx a lot.
Yes i would like to see via a nextcloud perhaps ?
Thx a lot !
Native webshare is in development for TrueNAS Connect.
Thanx a lot, but this is for lan not for wan ?
Thx
WebShare is for both.
Ha OK cool but you need the wan IP of the net box ?
OK i read it more . OK coing to investigate !
Yes, Nextcloud is a good choice; I use it successfully.
Hello and thx for the anwser.
I will go un september to talk about to a friend to build a computer for ^^
Thx yet.
Have a good day ^^
OK on monday i will have perhaps a i3 HP computer 4.
Go to discover truenas ! Instead of 512 mo i will have 8go of RAM. ^^
Have a gooday !
8 GB isn’t much; 16 is the minimum, 32 is good.
Check out my system specs.
Okok thx. It ils juste to save important data files un raid1. Yes go to see later to go to 16go !!
Have a gooday
By the way what do you think of zimaos ?
Hello all !
Ok i thought about it, and i go keep the Truenas system away from the wan So then a computer is going to be here in a week and i go install Truenas on it !
Thx a lot to all of you
Regards.
TrueNAS is my primary storage system, but it does not provide an easy-to-use graphical interface, particularly when it comes to file browsing. I therefore decided to use Virtual DSM.
Virtual DSM can mount the files stored on TrueNAS and provide a much more user-friendly interface for accessing and managing them.
Note: After reading Synology’s EULA, I believe that running Virtual DSM on non-Synology hardware is not permitted, even if you already own a genuine Synology NAS. Virtual DSM appears to be licensed for use only on supported Synology hardware, so deploying it elsewhere would violate the licence agreement.
