I’m super basic when it comes to dashboard. Spinning up a Heimdall docker container is so insanely easy and it lets me make nice looking links to all my services. Of all the things I’ve spent energy to try and learn to be better at, my dashboard has never been one and maybe it’s time to revisit… But man, it’s just a really quick compose file and one command and it’s there.
I just ordered the bits for my future storage appliance, so I can share what I decided to roll with. I stumbled across the Fractal Design Node 804 case, which has room for 8 x 3.5" drives, and then I got 4 x 8TB WD Red Plus drives to start with, RAIDZ1, and then I can add another 4-disk pool later on down the road. The Red Plus drives run at 5400rpm instead of 7200, that’s fine for what I need and saved a few bucks while still keeping me in CMR-drive-land. I also grabbed 2 x 1TB NVMe drives to run as a mirrored pair for the OS. 64GB of RAM so I have some headroom for services I want to run. And I’m going to put TrueNAS Scale on it, which makes it really convenient to run those aforementioned services that I am wanting to run directly on the NAS, like NextCloud and my Linux ISO downloading tool.
Also now that my family has pretty much moved entirely away from using the big clouds as much as possible, I’m now reading some of the other comments here and looking into Backblaze to store my encrypted backups offsite. Not everything, mind you, there is a large percentage of my data footprint that is either easily recoverable or just simply would be non-catastrophic to lose. But the important stuff, that’s getting encrypted and put in someone else’s internet locker for safe keeping.

Resist. Yes. This is what they need to be doing, and not just rolling over and capitulating. More of this please. So. Much. More.
It’s buttons you click on, arranged in a grid. You can color and arrange them based on groupings. I know you can have some marked “bookmarked” and some that aren’t, and then you’ll only see the bookmarked tabs on your Dashboard’s main listing. I’m actually not sure if there are further ways to delve into grouping. I certainly never bothered. Basic, like I said, lol
