TrueNAS and OpenMediaVault are two of the most popular open-source solutions for building a network-attached storage (NAS) system. The main difference is their core design philosophy. TrueNAS is built on the robust ZFS file system, which offers enterprise-grade data integrity and features like instant snapshots and replication. It’s an excellent choice for users who prioritize data safety and advanced functionality out of the box.
In contrast, OpenMediaVault is built on Debian Linux and offers more flexibility, supporting a wider range of file systems like Ext4 and Btrfs. It’s often considered more lightweight and simpler to set up, making it ideal for beginners or those with more basic needs. While it can use plugins to add functionality, it doesn’t have the same native data protection features as TrueNAS.
