Same, using NixOS as a NAS, though it kept growing and now I'm trying to share it with other people. I use BTRFS on MDADM though. It's ended up being an all-in-one home server and router now because I was tired of the noisy power hungry rack I had in my closet.

I'm also using NixOS for my NAS, you should look into quadlets (docker containers managed by systemd) to manage containers with nix.

But why? Why not the standard oci-containers module?

I've seen the quadlet-nix project but don't get what additional it gets me.

This is what I'm hoping to do. I haven't done much research yet, so I look forward to reading about your learnings. (Also to the person who responded to you with their experience and link.)

Thanks for saving me probably some hours...

EDIT: I'm also coming from an old Synology NAS from the ~2015 era.
