When it comes to a fileserver, I still prefer Truenas.
I’ve freenas/Truenas for 10 or so years now and unraid for about 5. For the last year I’ve been working on migrating everything back to Truenas (scale in my case)
Some of my pain points with unraid:
Some pros:
Application/service hosting is still great in unraid. It’s still a pain in the ass getting a VM running on Truenas scale, but with Truenas Scale you can run docker directly.
being able to just add single disks at a time in unraid is nice (until you need to replace one…)
Anyway that’s my off the top of my head reasoning. Truenas is a little more work to use overall, but I’ve found it much more stable
Sounds a bit like a clown raid if you ask me. It’s as if it wasn’t designed to be robust under production loads. 🤔
