Hi
I have a 2 bay qnap (with a Celeron J1900 4-core) and have the idea that I could replace the qnap OS with some open software.
I use the qnap as a hub with a number of computers syncing (via Syncthing) to their respective home folders on the qnap and also syncing some folders to other computers via the qnap.
The qnap doesnt go online and it does an incremental backup once a day to an external drive.
The other computers are a mixture of Mate 22.04 and windows 10.
My issue is that it has been a very long time since I set the qnap up with syncthng but qnap doesnt have syncthing anymore so I thought I might try something different.
I have been trying OMV on a laptop with the OS is on a ssd connected via a usb3 dongle thing. I have portainer installed and have even had Syncthing running, but then it wasnt, then it was and now I cant get to the Gui again... it has been an uphill battle, to a beginner OMV is a troublesome and confusing place.
My question is simply, taking into account what I need, is there a better suited (simpler) os that will achieve what I am trying to do?
Regards
