Its new homelab time. And with that, potentially a new OS time too.

I currently am very happy with Debian and Docker. The only issue is I am brand new to using data redundancy. I have a 2 bay NAS I'll use, and I want the two HDDs to be in raid 1.

Now I could definitely just use ZFS or BTRFS with Debian, and be able to use Docker just like I do currently.

Or I could use a dedicated NAS OS. That would help me with the raid part of this, but a requirement is Docker.

Any recommendations?

Yeah, that's what he means.

I'm doing kinda the same thing with my NAS: md raid1 for the SSDs, but only snapraid for the big data drives (mostly because I don't really care if i have to re-download my linux iso collection, so snapraid plus mergerfs is like, sufficient for that data).

Also using Ubuntu instead of Debian, but that's mostly due to it being first built six years ago, and I'd 100% go with Debian if I was doing it now.
