Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I feel like "NAS" has simply lost all meaning.
Network attached storage? I don't see the issue with OPs usage of the term.
Jellyfin is a NAS?
The storage for Jellyfin is a NAS. You can run it on a Synology NAS too. This is the same thing just DIY.
They're looking to run Jellyfin on the nas. And do a little gaming. That's not a NAS. It's a server/desktop that serves nfs shares.
I'm sure there are some folks who run a NAS simply for the joy of storing files. Most of us care primarily about what services can use those files, ideally with the same machine serving both functions.
That, is not a NAS then.
I feel like you are the one who is confusing a "NAS device" or "NAS appliance" as in a device that is specifically designed and primarily intended to provide NAS services (ie, its main attribute is large disks, with little design weight given to processing, RAM or other components except to the extent needed to provide NAS service), and a NAS service itself, which can be provided by any generic device simultaneously capable of both storage and networking, although often quite poorly.
You are asserting the term "NAS" in this thread refers exclusively to the former device/appliance, everyone else is assuming the latter. In fact, both are correct and context suggests the latter, although I'm sure given your behavior in this thread you will promptly reply that only your interpretation is correct and everyone else is wrong. If you want to assert that, go right ahead and make yourself look foolish.
Please quiet
