2 months agoHonestly if you use Claude just tell it to set it up for you. I have a truenas server running on a cheap $500 dell office PC that I got from Best Buy and it hosts pihole and a ton of other services like a password manager and Nginx etc… I just use the truenas mcp and give my agent access to stuff and let it manage it for me. I’ve been a software engineer for 7 years now and I still hate managing it myself. Ever since I realized I could just use ai to do it for me it’s been a major burden lifted. It’s no longer a hassle for me to manage it.
Good thing the server logo has a penguin on it I didn’t put it together immediately and assumed their user base was full of aquatic birds
