  • First you gotta ask yourself, do you feel lucky? what are you trying to solve for?

    General file storage with backup somewhere?

    File sync from mobile devices?

    Getting calendaring to your own hardware?

    Start with what your goals are, them look for solutions that QNAP can support.

    As I mentioned my other comment, I prefer using a NAS as storage and use a server for managing services.

    This way I have services isolated by functionality - one of my VM’s is ONLY for file management. It provides the SMB shares, an http file server, and an SFTP service. All other services that require file access do it through that server.


  • Alternatively, use the NAS only as a NAS and a computer of some sort as the host for services.

    All depends on what you’re hosting and what the NAS is capable of.

    For example, I have an ancient Drobo that can run some apps, but holy hell the performance would be abysmal. So I host services in VM’s on an ESXi box (an old Dell SFF desktop that’s very low power draw).

    I don’t understand these words: “Forgotten to turn on Bluetooth”.

    You turn Bluetooth off, or D by use automation to manage it?

    Over the years I’ve ysd a combination or NFC and Macrodroid/Automate/Tasker to manage connections.

    Like I always wanty phone to connect to my car, so NFC tag right beside the phone mount. Quick touch and all is configured - BT connection, volumes, etc.
