In case you didn't hear TrueNAS is going partially closed source. However, there seems to be a lack of alternatives.

Any ideas on what to move to?

Openmediavault only seems to run on Debian which is a no go for me. I'm looking for something immutable (ie an an appliance)

    I guess if you want specific recommendations you need to define your needs and requirements a bit more.

    Since I was wondering if Cockpit is an option for immutable distros I stumbled on this video, which seems to suggest it might since it is used on one there. So I guess you could pick your favorite immutable distros and see if Cockpit works to have a easy gui for managing the server stuff.

    You could of course also go for something like NixOS and make everything declarative.

    For me Openmediavault was easy to set up and just works for the little stuff I want it to do.

    WARNING: I am not an expert!

    Maybe VanillaOS? Immutable, atomic, Debian-based. If OpenMediaVault doesn't run directly on Vanilla, use its APX tool to make a minimalist Debian container & install OpenMediaVault there?
