Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

You can’t go wrong with a 2-bay Synology 🤷🏻♂️ yes TrueNAS is more “selfhosted”, but the Synology is way easier.
Agree with the Synology recommendation for a simple starter. Though personally always recommend the 4 bay.
Also want to call out the importance of 4-bay vs. 2-bay. With 2-bay you get 1-drive fault tolerance in RAID mode, which is nice. With 4-bay, you can still opt for 1-drive fault tolerance and with SHR you can have 4 drives active (of varying sizes) giving you much more available space and making the upgrade path of storage significantly easier.
if I had my time again I would go 4 bay first.
2 bays sound like a nice easy introduction to NAS until you pick raid 0 like a fucking animal.
I could have data redundancy or I could have DOUBLE the storage ...
Seconded for Synology. I have had zero complaints with mine.
