Take the machine, wipe it and build a NAS from scratch with Gentoo. If all |
| 9 |
you want is an NFS mount that won't be difficult. Add an NFS server, export |
| 10 |
your mount and you're done, right? Managing it over the long term will be |
| 11 |
far more work than TrueNAS but you will be comfortable with changing disks |
| 12 |
and adding network cards which is important to you. Life is too short to |
| 13 |
deal with things you really don't enjoy. |

I would not suggest you look at Ubuntu Server because it's NGL. 10 minutes |
| 16 |
to install, 3 minutes to figure out how to add the NFS server. However it's |
| 17 |
a different package manager and truly not as nice as emerge/portage so you |
| 18 |
probably won't like that part of NGL either. I truly don't like apt, but it |
| 19 |
works if I stay in my lane so I've learned to do that, the advantage being |
| 20 |
I've never had to build a package from scratch and I've never in 5 or 6 |
| 21 |
years had an update fail. |

Wipe the machine. You'll be happier. |
