So I'm mostly looking for an OS (and potentially good community support such as forums/YT guides to help w this).
Requirements:
- Ability to connect to a custom personal domain (using DDNS to point from a subdomain to my NAS) for it to be globally accessible.
- Must be user friendly - preferably with a Web app/interface similar to DSM.
- Must be good for multiple users. High quality admin tools to assign quotas and folder access.
Currently my NAS is acting as a backup for a bunch of friends & family members, as well as a media server. Only problem is that my J-series is no where near powerful enough to even stream a show at 1080p... I would go with another Synology because it's way easier, but why get an R1600 and 4GBs of RAM when I can get a 3200G and 32GBs for £150 less.
If I could get something nigh-on identical to Synology's DSM from a general user-end view (like CasaOS) which can be accessed via Web while being NAS-friendly, that would be perfect!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if you have other advice for someone building a first-time custom NAS, then I'm all ears.
Edit: I forgot to mention that for connecting externally (not in Local Network), I'd really like to be able to use an SSL cert so I don't have to worry about the uNsEcUrE wEbSiTe warning haha. Set it up on my Synology a while ago but I've long forgotten how to do that by now
