New in 1.32: encrypted configuration backup
NAS Manager is a complete NAS operating system that installs from a USB key on a standard x86-64 PC. Storage, sharing, apps, websites, email and virtual machines: everything a commercial NAS does, on hardware you choose.

Install apps in one click or paste any compose file.
Host websites and publish apps behind a reverse proxy, like on a Synology.

How it works
Write the hybrid ISO to a USB key with Rufus or balenaEtcher. It boots in UEFI and BIOS mode.
Choose the disks: each one receives a small mirrored copy of the system, the rest stays free for your volumes.
Open http://your-nas:30000 and create volumes, shares, users and apps from any computer or phone.
Specifications
FAQ
Any recent 64-bit x86 PC or mini PC with at least one disk. NAS Manager was designed for the AOOSTAR mini PC with an AMD Ryzen 7 5850U, but runs on most Intel and AMD machines. 8 GB of RAM is comfortable; more if you run virtual machines or GitLab.
The system itself is mirrored on every disk, like on a Synology: the NAS still boots from any remaining disk. Your data volumes are protected by RAID or ZFS redundancy, and a failed disk is replaced from the interface in one click.
No. NAS Manager works entirely on your local network, with no account and no subscription. The Internet is only needed for optional features such as updates, Let's Encrypt certificates or cloud backups.
Yes. Besides the one-click catalogue, you can paste any Docker compose file, host PHP websites in the Web Station, or create Linux and Windows virtual machines.
Through signed .nm-update packages, installed from the Update page or downloaded automatically. The previous version is backed up first and restored automatically if anything goes wrong.
No. NAS Manager is proprietary software created by Mario DANTAS. It is built on open-source components (Ubuntu, Samba, Docker, Apache, KVM…), which keep their own licences.
