I had a Synology about 5 years ago before truenas. It was fine. The main problem I had with it was the price for the quality of hardware. You could build a FAR better device for MUCH cheaper and load truenas onto it. Yes you have to figure a lot out yourself. And the support you have is forums. But people in the truenas forums are very helpful.

There are a ton of apps already ported over to truenas. Plex and unifi controller to name a few. Also immich for photos. And nextcloud if you're into that.

The one thing I found that Synology does much better is surveillance cameras.

I have nextcloud setup already. Yeah, Synology is moving aware from intel chips I think. I appreciate this info. I was set on a couple 1522+ but I am going to pause and research. Separately, I setup a unifi controller on raspi. Now that it’s setup it works well.

One question you might know:

For Vlans should you only can tag one port per vlan for the switch? I have it working but I have vlans pointing to multiple ports and that can likely be improved.

You can have multiple ports per vlan. I don't used managed switches so I configure vlans in the unifi controller on the access points. For example I will tag the guest network as a separate vlan. Then I control all the routing with firewall rules on pfsense.

That’s how I have it. Thank you.
