Hey all. currently running truenas scale and both love and hate it.

if i were to switch, i want to be able to run zfs but i also want a slick webgui.

im looking at free options (sorry unraid) which remind me of truenas, except with the ability to run docker - which i still feel like is truenas’ fatal flaw.

i have thought of a simple ubuntu server with webmin + dockge/portainer, but im like, maybe there is something more put together? im thinking of a webgui more reminiscent of CasaOS. i would even do cockpit if it were a little more robust.

im not even sure if this solution exists - but i would like to know if anyone knows an OS which has a nice webgui and also allows for the management of zfs drives/pools.

thanks all!

    Proxmox is great. It’s Debian based, so you can install Docker directly on it if you want, but I recommend installing a Debian virtual machine and installing Docker there. That way you can manage backups, transfer the whole thing when you upgrade machines, etc.

    My suggestion would be Proxmox. It’s a full VM hypervisor with the ability to manage ZFS out of the box. I recently moved from a truenas VM to managing ZFS on Proxmox directly and the process was nearly painless.
