There’s wazuh. Advertises itself as a SIEM. I’ve tried it on and off but never extensively. You can self-host the server side, last I checked. It’s based on OpenSearch, for a sense of resource requirements.

I’m definitely a fan, now. The auto tagging with OpenAI is pretty nifty, too.

I’m still pleasantly surprised by hoarder.app. But I started with low expectations because I didn’t think I’d find a “bookmark manager” very handy. Lo and behold…

One thing to think about is power consumption. And if that’s important to you. Used server gear is cheaper upfront. But draws a lot more power—typically.
Then how simple you want to rate drive swaps to be under maintenance. If you need hotswap bays or if downtime is OK. For the chassis.

Tangential note: if you’re doing video production, I suggest using whatever NAS setup you do implement as an archival step in your workflow, post exports. If you want to do edits directly, you’ll benefit greatly from >= 10 Gbps networking. Editing over 1 Gbps, even with proxies, ain’t fun.

Last pushed build I received was Jan 26, 2025. I wouldn’t say it’s updated with each server release, but it’s never lost compatibility with the server I have running.

ABS has been solid for me. Easily replaced my youtube-dl cronjobs. I do wonder if the iOS app will ever leave TestFlight though.

I have had both TrueNAS and Synology. They do what they do and get out of the way, which is all I ask for from my storage. Budget might be your main constraint.
