From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What all would you do to set up Ubuntu as a NAS? (lemmy.world)

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?

I went for the simplest option

Installed a distro (in this case Debian)
Installed tailscale on the server, logged in
Installed tailscale on my other devices, logged in
Used sshfs to mount the desired directory on the server to my client
SSH in once a week or so to run updates

Found it very simple. Avoided the tedious setup of samba and samba had weird reliability issues for me when copying large files. Took a bit to learn how ssh works, but very much so worth it.
