Never used OMV, but if you run into any problems with synology/truenas/linux/proxmox/debian/ubuntu/routeros I can gladly help you out. Getting a nas is a lot of fun and some hard yakka.

Finally ordered a NAS and it arrived today. I could probably do the same thing with the PC running OMV I have, but there’s so much more setup involved and I keep running into roadbocks with networking. I’ll use this and keep it simple whilst I learn to do things by myself

It’s a cheap 2 bay Synology. I know people don’t like them at the moment but I decided to go with basic whilst I figure things out. Being able to setup the app to access it from anywhere without needing to fuck around with setting up my own VPN is nice, but I’ll figure all that out at some point too
