For this product class, just build something that OpenWRT runs on; yes even for a NAS. If chips support / blobs / etc aren't there, get them on the way to being up-streamed and public.
This was fairly obvious a decade ago, and today it should be planly obvious.
- SilverRed 5y agoI went through this process. Got a little nas device that had linux support. Unfortunately the performance was not good enough for SSHFS and it didn't have enough performance to run any kind of web ui like nextcloud. Eventually got a full power server which could run nextcloud but the hassle of keeping it running, managing backups, and just the cost of the power usage to keep it running made it much more cost and time effective to just use google drive and have all of these problems solved for me. Google may not be the most trustworthy but I at least trust my data is backed up and safe from hackers.
