Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

What OS should I use? (alien.top)

I'm working on building a NAS for a media server and I'm trying to figure out what OS to choose. I'm not apposed to paying for something if it's worth it, but free and open source is always appreciated. Drive pooling is a must and support for raid would definitely be a pro. On top of that I'd like to run all the arr's, Plex, Tautulli, and a few other things. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks, TC370

Some variation of Linux + BTRFS filesystem + Docker is what I use. Lots of good options for free.

Is that something I would have to download and combine, or is there an all in one version of that? I'm very new to this and don't even know where to begin looking.

Openmediavault combines these with a nice web interface
