[Question] If you want to have two environments (lets call it Sandbox and Production), and you want to have a NAS in Production (Terramaster, Ugreen, etc), what do you put in your Sandbox environment?

  • Oh... That sounds risky!

    But, with no experience doing it, I may be missing something.

    Have you had no issues with this approach?

  • No. I really need Production to be stable because other people will be using it. And I do not want my own playing around to cause issues.

    I am really considering both @slazer2au@lemmy.world idea of a smaller NAS from the same company and @Zachariah@lemmy.world idea of just creating a new volume in the same NAS.

  • That is an interesting proposition. And it is a bit cheaper then buying a second NAS while still possibly catching many issues.

    Have you done this, out of curiosity?

  • Good point. I need to consider doing this to make troubleshooting easier.

    Also curious if someone had any RAID related issues. Which you will not catch with a 1 or 2 disk NAS since you cannot have RAID 5 there.

  • I was not clear on why I wanted a production environment. The reason is that I want enough stability in it to be used by family and friends. Preferably without breakages. Immediate usages will be as shared storage, e-book management, game centre to run Minecraft for my kind who lives far away from me., etc. Also, the list of services I will make available in production will vary throughout time.

    This is why I mentioned a NAS in production. So that the hardware storage just works. But, at the same time, I really do not have the budget to buy two similar NAS and test things in Sandbox.

    I really get your point about having two different envs if I want to have perfect stability. But I was trying to figure out if I could make the Sandbox env a little bit less costly but go 80% of the way in terms of catching issues before breaking Production.

    I may just buy a lower model of the same brand but lets see if other people suggest another approach.
