A NAS is just a machine that can provide network access to storage. The term “NAS” is just a word that describes the purpose or main responsibility of a machine. A pi could be a NAS. Your desktop could be a NAS. A Steam Deck could be a NAS. A NAS is just a machine that can access a network, access some storage, and process requests to that storage from the network.

Nitrousoxide posted:Does anyone have any recommended super cheap video cards for a server who's cpu doesn't have an integrated GPU? The super old gpu I had dropped in there to let me access the bios/uefi if needed kicked the bucket and now I need a new one. ARC A310.

TraderStav posted:Following up on earlier conversations regarding Plex transcoding. Can I please get a recommendation on a solid CPU to build a machine around? Budget is not infinite, but I'm not afraid to spend some cash. All in $700-1000 for a replacement for my current Unraid box (no hard drives needed) unless my needs are indicating I need to increase the budget. I'm just quite confused at the landscape (quicksync?) trying to understand what I should be looking at to get 2-3 4K transcodes going along with all of the other items that I'll be having on my system, which are likely very low powered and may just mean more RAM. It will require the 6.2 Linux kernel, but the Intel ARC gpu's are fantastic little encoders. Would mean you would not need such as expensive of a CPU. I believe Asrock even make a single slot A310 or A380.

TraderStav posted:Perhaps I'm being obtuse, or was being obtuse. But if I spun up this Ubuntu box to be a dedicated Plex server, any reason for me to use Docker instead of just installing the app that the default Ubuntu install recommends? Just realized that I may be vastly overcomplicating my life here with all this portainer/etc. business. What am I missing that Docker brings in this scenario, provided I'm backing up my Plex settings/data to my NAS? Not worrying about dependencies breaking from updates.

Matt Zerella posted:Looks like UnRAID might be switching to yearly updates subscription model and that would probably be the end of it for me. It's been a good run but I guess it's finally time to move over to full fat Linux since I'm comfortable with it. I'm guessing TrueNAS Scale is not an option? It runs on Debian, iirc.

fletcher posted:drat! Thanks for the info. I don't mind using my own account, I just like having the clear chronological order of an RSS feed and the ease of seeing read vs. unread posts. Having it consolidated with the rest of my RSS feeds would be nice as well. You probably still could, but you would then have to pay Twitter for API access and they are charging truly exorbitant amounts.

If you do want to game on a Linux OS that will not be your NAS OS and you’re looking at Fedora, consider Bazzite. It is basically the Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite but configured with a bunch of gaming focused changes.
