NAS for local git server

[T.Vengeance]

Hey all, so for anyone's who's had experience with setting up a local git server, what sort of NAS would you guys recommend to me? I'm looking for a sub-300 dollar system, preferably 2 drives for redundancy?? (Though I'm not sure how useful that is). After googling around, the company Synology keeps popping up, but I'm not sure if that's the default go-to brand everyone knows, or there are better options out there. Thanks!

Most of those low end nas boxes won't let you easily make a git server on them. Your best hope is to build your own or to get a used server. Id look at something like a dell c2100 if you have a rack, then install something like proxmox.

most prebuilt NAS boxes wont let you make your own git server on them, the OS is very different. You need to build your own server and install your own OS.

You can install a Git server on a QNAP NAS too, either natively with a 3rd party qpkg (which requires a bit of fiddling) or via a docker image (which, if you know docker, is pretty straightforward).  There's even a docker image for GitLab if you want the web UI.

 

Something like the TS-251+ would be good for what you want and, unlike similarly priced Synology devices, you can actually upgrade the RAM in them if you start running more services.
