Server Overview
This is the home server setup. Everything important runs on a TrueNAS box at 192.168.2.203. My Windows PC at 192.168.2.200 is just a client now, not a service host.
If something is broken, start with Common Issues. If you want to understand how stream.saxobroko.com reaches a box in my house, read Network.

Hardware
Current NAS: Ugreen DXP 8800 Plus
Running TrueNAS in a RAIDZ1 pool:
- 7× 16 TB drives in the pool today
- 1× 16 TB drive on the way (will expand to 8-wide RAIDZ1)
- Usable capacity depends on parity; check the TrueNAS dashboard for live numbers
Web UI: dsm.saxobroko.com (legacy hostname from the Synology days — it points at TrueNAS now)
Previous NAS: Synology DS920+ (retired)
Before TrueNAS I ran a Synology DS920+ with a DX517 expansion unit. That setup is gone but some folder names and hostnames (Morpheus, dsm.saxobroko.com) stuck around.
Old drive layout for reference: 9 bays total, mix of 8 TB and 4 TB drives, 2 NVMe cache accelerators. Synology Photos lived on that box until the migration.
