I’ve used OpenMediaVault for years and liked it, but I’m just exploring some other options. I’ve got a new system with a Ryzen 370 and 890m iGPU, which Debian is fighting me on getting working. Meanwhile it looks like AMD is treating Ubuntu as a first class citizen for support. Just considering options, maybe Ubuntu plus Cockpit to abstract all the admin stuff?
It shouldnt be any different than doing it on Debian tbh. Mine is a Buffalo Terrastation running Debian. I use mergerFS and I think I SMB? I actually havent messed with it in so long I barely remember cause it never has issues.
