      Synology is just as bad now.

      Just do the right thing from the start - build your own NAS and don’t rely on commerical software.

        Let’s be real. Do you think someone who uses an iphone will have the ability to buy a compact hot swappable computer, buy and install hard drives, download and burn a bootable partition on a USB stick, navigate terminal to install an Linux Nas distro, then setup DDNS and setup SSL and then setup their iphone?

        I know how and have done this before and I still bought a Synology box. You don’t know how many times I had to migrate my data when a FOSS becomes abandonware. There is a certain comfort knowing that your shit isn’t going to be abandon.

        Commercial software doesn’t mean it’s bad. Pfsense is a commercial software and it’s amazing. I buy their routing solutions.

          Yes. I have an iPhone.

            So do I.

            Though I don’t actually fit the description very well as I build my servers from individual pieces.

            I’m also a pretty hardcore Debian user (have been since the mid-90s, very early in the project’s life) so no “Linux NAS distro” for me.
