I have been running a Plex Server for about 10 years on Synology (more than 1) and just want to try something a bit different. I'm attracted to the Intel N100 (rightly or wrongly!) as it appears to be a stronger CPU with good media capabilities.
I am a windows user and have dabbled a bit into Linux. I have gotten myself an Aoostar R1 (N100, 1 NVME, 2x12Tb HDD) so then I come to OS. I like the Synology 'style' where I can get a GUI from anywhere on my network. I have tried TrueNAS (too complicated so far) and am currently using ZimaOS which seems quite good but I'm having issues and now I've come to HexOS which I quite like but again am having issues.
A question I have is, what is the best way to transfer my media data from Synology, I have been using rsync to back up my Synology to another Synology so thought this might be a good method but I have been having issues with ZimaOS around this as the copied files are not visible from within Plex (I think umask might resolve this but ZimaOS appear to have locked it down and I'm trying to figure that out).
As I see it HexOS is for someone like me, my level of knowledge, but I don't want to be coming on here asking basic questions - are there any options? Is there any documentation? As a novice I run into a lot of brick walls and it gets very frustrating.
