Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

If you use a reputable brand, such as TerraMaster you'll avoid all of the scare stories you hear.
Almost everything bad seems to be along the lines of
Something like this:
https://www.terra-master.com/uk/products/homesoho-das/d6-320.html
It'll be faster than your spinning rust anyway, as long as you have high speed ports on your mini PC.
I was very intrigued until they wanted my email before showing me the "Quick Installation Guide".
Err, you mean the piece of paper that came in the box, or is available to download on their website as a link without having to register?
https://www.terra-master.com/us/d6-320.html?page=menu&mid=1336
I followed the support link in their menu, clicked on quick guide and got this page: https://support.terra-master.com/quickguide/
Are you not presented with a form forcing you to enter an email?
That's weird that there are several ways to get access to the Quick Guides, and some seem to want an email.
However it doesn't use it and takes junk (I just used a@b.com which was accepted), but sad that the form you found needed it.
But to answer your question, no I missed that link and went to "downloads" which also has the guide but doesn't appear to require any email.
Great, was starting to wonder if I was being singled out and they just wanted my email 😀
I still don't understand why they have that form at all.
No such thing in their website from europe
I just did a websearch and first result was a download link on their US website too which didn't require registration.
There seems to be a lot of nonsense on here.
I don't know but usually uk websites are the worsts of the bunch
The reputable brand that quietly updated my device in the middle of the night and reset my password to a randomly generated one, locking me out of the device? That brand? The brand that runs their OS off of a USB stick inside the device so it's always a ticking time bomb that might just stop working randomly? That one?
Update your DAS? What are you talking about?
Are you alright?
Bought only the nas hardware, no software or enclosures with OS from the and had no problems
