I have an old x86_64 computer which I am planning to use as a NAS. Which of the 2 is a better option? Is it helpful or better to run on bare metal or as a VM on proxmox?

    I chose to run TrueNAS Scale. But I have a travel kit on a couple of RPis that consists of OpenWRT + OMV with some Docker containers.

    I seem to have the opposite experience of other commenters. I find TrueNAS Scale very intuitive to use. The only issue I have with it, are some Truechart apps (it seems to usually be ones that require a ingress)

    OMV is okay. I find it really hard to navigate the UI. It feels like something from the 00s.

    I tried proxmox but gave up on it. I just could not figure out Permissions for portainer. Nothing worked. But I guess that’s on me because everyone loves proxmox
