Porteus as NAS

[rych]

I'm now looking at the Open Media Vault (and FreeNAS, etc.) to make my own NAS box and was wondering if anyone has used Porteus for this purpose? Or perhaps it's a silly thing to do? OMV seems a good Debian-based docker-centric solution already, but it is still a new system to learn. So I might investigate turning my Porteus USB into a wake-on-lan Data/Cloud/File/Web/FTP/Gallery/Streaming/Bittorent/... headless server in its own right Please share your thoughts and advice below.

My thoughts so far:

• Porteus already lives on a USB stick which is recommended for NAS as the system and perhaps bittorent client can run (or sleep) without waking up the large storage disk(s).
• I guess the distinctive part of existing solutions is the web interface for monitoring, adding plugins etc. but often people have to drop into a (web) ssh terminal anyway.

Did you manage to get it running?

I do have a NAS, but for some reason the installed Linux OS is malfunctioning (I have no idea why, not had the time to invest days to figure it out since the 6 months of guarantee is already over)

I Installed the system some years prior and then never used it, and I tried again during shutdown (approx 9 months ago) and found out about its issue.
