Please share your experiences with different versions in the blog’s comments! Plugin vs. I would expect that the same-or similar-steps would work with different versions of FreeNAS (now known as TrueNAS Core), but your mileage may vary. Everything in this article was written in the context of using my NAS.
My DIY NAS is running FreeNAS-11.2-U8, has an Avoton C2550 CPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 10Gb NIC. This decision was instigated by the shift in what I was asking of my own DIY NAS and encouraged by the numerous questions I’ve been asked about self-hosting cloud storage over the years. I wound up deciding that I’d try and host my own cloud storage using Nextcloud and access it via Tailscale. But SMB’s performance over the Internet isn’t that great, and I wanted to make sure that important content-like my blog-continued to be synchronized across all of the machines that I’d want to be able to access it from. In my blog about implementing Tailscale at home, I installed Tailscale on my OpenWRT router and used Tailscale’s relay node feature to allow my other Tailscale nodes to use all of the resources on my network. My growing catalog of content (primarily video footage) has long since eclipsed what can be stored on Google Drive or Dropbox-and even if I could buy the space, I’d much rather invest the cash into improving my NAS! However, I’m hopeful about our vaccination efforts and I’m cautiously optimistic there might be light at the end of that tunnel. If anything, I have less of a need to access my NAS’s contents remotely. The way that I’ve used my NAS, it has been simpler to use services like Google Drive to have access to my most critical data on my various computers, tablets, and phones.īetween COVID-19 and my new job being 100% remote, I have spent nearly all of my time on my own network.
Until recently, I’ve never really felt the urge to access the contents of my DIY NAS from outside of my own network.
