Today I started my self hosting journey (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So today after almost a year of learning what self hosting and what a nas and raid configuration was, I was to get a used hp prodesk 600 g6 mini and install zimaos on it. Zimaos really made things a lot simpler than I thought it was going to be. I was easily able to install portainer and immich and it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.

I’ve actually made a goal now to use this for me to get used to it and since I already have a list of what I would like to self hosting for my parents as well as for myself, I’m going to take this as an opportunity to try to set everything up so I’m comfortable with it and when I’m ready to buy a nas for my parents and set it up for them, it won’t be hard. I will also learn how to do remote access and how to do it safely and maybe even try out different nas os to see which one I’m comfortable/like more.

Anyway I just wanted to say that I’m happy to be deep diving and this and can’t wait to learn and host more!!

Sounds great. How does Zima compare to Synology?

ZimaOS is the native OS for the Zimaboard. It's evolved from casaos and gives beginners a friendly start with an app store like experience for containers.
