Ubuntu server or TrueNas scale

Computer Hardware & Server Infrastructure Builds

Hi
looking for some feedback :slight_smile:
I am running Ubuntu server with ZFS and docker containers, I was thinking of switching my home server to Truenas scale maybe for a better UI then CLI portainer and cockpit. also for backing up the server config as with Ubuntu you would have to re install evrything manually or backp config files. DO you think it’s worth the switch?
Thanks for any feedback
Chris

The 45 Drives Houston based on Cockpit makes things easier to manage than command line, but still not to the level that TrueNAS is. But with TrueNAS it’s an appliance and adding things to it beyond what it was built with can cause things to break.
