@dax BTW, pfSense is my gateway/firewall. I love it. It runs on commodity hardware. Hasn't crashed in a long time. THe last problem was a dead pwoer supply which had been on 24/7 for about 5 years

@dax TN may not be for you then. The cli and all the tools are available but it is GUI based.

I have not tried unRAID but have read good things about it.

@dax Scale is very nice. Way better docker/cotainer support. the CORE version does not really support that at all. Scale has proper container support.

Scale has a good UI for containers, I think it's very easy management.

Luckily, I got some good surplus scores last year ;-)

@dax I use TrueNAS. They have a CORE version for BSD fans and a Scale version for Linux types (better for VMs IMO)

I use CORE on a surplus Dell Compellent server. It is over kill. TN works fine on commodity hardware.

I set up a Scale install on a surplus Dell R710. I use the CORE version, which has low level BSD fiber channel tools, to export volumes to Scale and use Scale pirmarily as a VM host. The free version of Scale does not support fiber channel.
