Its new homelab time. And with that, potentially a new OS time too.

I currently am very happy with Debian and Docker. The only issue is I am brand new to using data redundancy. I have a 2 bay NAS I’ll use, and I want the two HDDs to be in raid 1.

Now I could definitely just use ZFS or BTRFS with Debian, and be able to use Docker just like I do currently.

Or I could use a dedicated NAS OS. That would help me with the raid part of this, but a requirement is Docker.

Any recommendations?

    I need to throw random spare old HDs at it, I expect failures, I expect expanding it, I expect very different sizes between the disks.

      You can do that with ZFS. It’s built-in integrierty check will automatically heal errors and tell you what drive has gone bad.
