(QNAP) TS-809U-RP 8Bay NAS

Hi there,

Before I was going to make my own OMV NAS I had a 8TB Synology DS410J NAS.
It was a great NAS but it had only 256 MB.
So I decided to sell it and I was looking for a 12 bay Synology but the price was way too much.
And it wasn’t possible to switch components in it.

Then i found OMV and tested it in a VMware. It worked good but I didn't had much Linux skills for extra add-ons.
So i decided to build a OMV NAS and learn Linux commands.

I bought a QNAP TS-809U-RP 8Bay with defect mainboard.

And filled it with this:

Specs:
- Mainboard: AMD E-450
- Memory: 4GB DDR 3
- Power: 300Watt
- Raid controller: Addonics Technologies (4 ports)
- Hard disk: 4x Samsung HD203I 2TB ( space for 4 more, will be added in the future )

OMV is installed on a 8GB USB stick ( datatraveler)
It runs in Raid 5 with 5+ TB data space.
Some App's installed:

App's
- SMB
- FTP
- DLNA ( but doesn’t run?? someone that can help me? unfortunately I am not a Linux guru ^^)
- VPN PPTP ( not the openvpn plugin, need to pay for that one? )
- Sabnzbd ( after a system reboot the webbrowser doesnt run? )

todo's:
- Fixing DLNA and Sabnzbd startup.
- Adding Raid controller + 4x Hard disk
- Binding the cable's together

Thanks!
MiniDLNA works now after adding folder with 777 rights.

Added VirtualBox plugin.

I'm going to install vpn pptp too, does it work great? any suggestion?
thanks

Yes it works great!
Its like a normal pptp windows setup.
So easy to configure on IOS/windows or other devices.

I can access everything trough vpn. SMB/DLNA etc.

its easy to do it manually.

Update:

Today i bought some extra's

6X samsung HD203WI and 2x SSD vertex 2 98GB

I am going to install Vcenter to run more vm's.
And maybe i upgrade my mainboard. But thats for the futere. ( more memory and double nic's )

Update:

I have build in the Raidcontroller and 4x 2TB + 1 ssd ( for VM's)
And i upgraded from raid 5 to 10 because we get 500/500 internet line here

Bought a DL360G5 server yesterday.

I am thinking to run omv on it. But then under ESXI.
Then i will add a Sharkoon 8-bay raid station to the server.

The Qnap homemade NAS with hardware can be bought for 400 euro. ( without disks)
Mobo, memory and raidcontroler have warrenty for 2 years.
