Secure NAS

What is it?

This is the complete configuration for a Linux-based multiservice secure server that you can create yourself.

Features

• A totally open source solution.
• Big hardware selection guide and "concurrents" description. On 2018.
• Debian-based.
• ZFS is the only filesystem that is used. Root and boot on ZFS mirror.
• Full-disk encryption with a native LUKS.
• Protection against reboot. Lightweight SSH server integrated in initramfs. You can decrypt disks remotely.
• All services communicate with user via HTTPS, even if the service does not explicitly support HTTPS.
• HTTPS with a regular certificate signed by Let's Encrypt.
• Certificate auto renewal.
• One certificate for all services using reverse proxy.
• Public-available services with CloudNS.
• Docker-isolation between services and between services and host.
• Most services are well-tested and stable from Linuxserver.io initiative.
• Multiuser with one authorization provider.
• LDAP as an authorization provider.
• Service can use LDAP authorization even if it doesn't support LDAP native.
• Integration between services. I.e. the media search service can use the torrent downloader to download movie.
• Some services were patched by the author for integration with others (i.e. Nextcloud was patched for use inside iframe Organizr).

And much more...
