Recommend a NAS server

Question

linux

Good evening!

I want to buy a replacement for the old Synology DS-101 . However, the requirements are specific.

It is mandatory that there is an embedded web server (Apache, or another), MySQL (fifth), php (also fifth), but ...
DS-101 has embed Linux, which does not give root even when busybox is installed, but for su (sudo no) lacks rights. Therefore, updating the system is almost impossible - you can only replace the firmware, but this is not what we would like.

And I would like to install modern php, mysql, perhaps nginx. I wanted to put MariaDB there - but even the directory cannot be renamed or created - there is no root.

Since the DS-101 has been around for many, many years, MySQL is sometimes buggy (it cuts itself out by accident, it may simply not start when it is turned on), I want something newer.

I want to ask the opinion of a respected habra community what can be purchased in an analogue for a home / small office? In a good way, a NAS with LAN root (not USB - there are many of us here) will do.

Answer 1

Try some of thecus on them you can put just Linux.
You just need to turn off the logs

maybe they have models that fit your budget

Answer 2

I'm wildly sorry, for that kind of money you can assemble us yourself in a compact case on miniITX
And ​​put any distribution kit of your choice on it.
What is the reason for buying a boxed NAS? Judging by the question, the answer option “messing is not hunting” is not very suitable.

Answer 3

Why not take Synology more modern?
For example DS110j or more powerful. You can install third-party software, and in extreme cases compile it yourself

Answer 4

Not really a NAS, but a more flexible solution - http://www.ixbt.com/storage/hp-microserver-p1.shtml
The only possible negative is the lack of RAID 5 support, but in terms of software - everything your heart desires

Answer 5

How about this ? I use a younger model, php and mysql are installed, though for sooooo small needs, no failures were noticed.

Answer 6

I took synology ds411j for 13k, on the last one the root is enabled by default via ssh, with a password from the admin. There are many manuals on how to install third-party software and the environment, it costs transmission, lftp, openvpn, there is a lot of other software from the repository, everything works, everything is spinning. If you are interested in the details - wellcome in a personal.

Answer 7

Synology DS-209II + works well for me and gives normal speed. Now there screws 1.5Tb 5900 RPM
