Debian
Debian. All day, everyday.
Debian Stable. Clean, easy, and reliable. Upgrades smoothly without drama.
Proxmox 4 lyf
Debian, FreeBSD. Proxmox is awesome for hosting VMs, LXC, and Docker Containers (via a VM).
Debian, I wouldn’t pick another one.
Debian. I use mostly docker containers and super easy to spin up and manage.
Home Server: VMware ESXi NAS: Unraid
NixOS
Seconding that, with declarative OCI configs.
this is the way
I use TrueNAS, mainly because I wanted a solid storage solution. I don’t really need many VMs, so I’m happy to run jails for stuff I need.
I also run a small RPi4 server with a few docker containers (a secondary Syncthing server, TVHeadend server, etc).
If I had a need for VMs, I’d run Proxmox (as I have some experience with it).
Big fan of Truenas core and jails!
If you’re looking for a NAS and don’t want to invest on all disks right now, unraid. Otherwise truenas
Denian stable, openSUSE Leap
Yup, Debian is stable and rock solid for years
If you want a beautiful front end for docker containers
CasaOS/ZimaOS Cosmos-server Unbrel
Otherwise
- proxmox
- truenas
- unraid
