#Tonido vs amahi install

Yes it's nice to have some extras, but everyone's extras are different. The typical use for a NAS is to store files over the network and OMV does that. I personally don't care for torrents, downloads or plex. Sure it had limitations, but as a whole it was worth using it. It had one clean UI for everything and it worked pretty well. It used to be a system that you installed, set-up in the UI, and out-of-box had pretty much all the functions you needed from your NAS/HTPC. OMV 5 feels like a massive downgrade in functionality while it didn't add anything new, exciting, or needed.

So my question is: if you have to use Docker anyway for two extremely common things (three if you need jDownloader too), why would you need OMV in the first place? You can just install debian server, install Docker on it, and use Docker plugins for the remaining 2-3 functions you'd need from your NAS/HTPC. Handling shares? Yeah, you can do it from the UI, although it doesn't allow you to use drives that you modified for some reason in fstab (and of course, if you do manually set the shares in smb.conf that the UI doesn't allow you to create, the system overrides it with restart) JDownloader? Use the Docker version or install manually from terminal. Transmission? Use the Docker version or install manually from terminal.

Plex? Use the Docker version or install manually from terminal. Now, almost every single thing that made it worthwhile got deprecated.

Originally I started to use it because it was easy to use, and had all the fuctions I needed on an easy to control UI. I've been a user of OMV for 7 years, and now, after updating to 5.6.x I seriously start to question the reason for existence of OMV altogether.
