PeteLocky 22 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Currently I have a synology ds918+ with 12gb ram 33tb storage and 2 x 250gb nvme cache drives... I am to put it together tomorrow the replacement, 16gb ram core i5 10400 recycle the drives but will be using the previous cache ssds as my base OS drives, naturally the performance increase should be quite huge in terms of raw power but I am wondering what OS to use? Currently I love the synology OS and need to make use of things such as reverse proxy / subdomains and many docker based apps, should I go with Windows or something like freenas or unraid? Any opinions welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 xpenology comes to mind if you like the synology interface - works on most hardware - runs from a usb but you would need to check out hardware support for you build - as its new you might find that an issue - when i played with it four years ago 99% just worked with default config with a bit of fiddle time - it ran very nicely on at the time old and new hardware there are dedicated forums for it - that were very active at the time - fixes came relatively quickly Hopefully thats still the case - but a quick google search should confirm that and there is a xpenology sub forum here as well under synology As for other os's go with what you know - most if not all support docker these days - so other factors will come into play etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteLocky 22 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 i had no idea that xpenology existed, going to try this before i do anything, once my case (fractal r6) comes tomorrow, going to install on a vm later to test, thanks a lot for the heads up, appreciated!
