Michael Lucas released a stellar book on the subject not long ago (https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product/ryoms/). It’s pretty thorough, relatively up-to-date, and (like all his stuff) a fun read. It does a great job of demystifying the mechanics. As far as the implementation goes, I’ll put in another vote for Mailcow, which combines all of the components into a very usable docker stack.
You’ve got some good options, but let me mention that if you dig Odoo, there are alternatives to pretty much all the “Enterprise” apps. Just use the Third Party App Store or browse through the OCA (https://apps.odoo-community.org/shop).
As others have said, ersatztv would be the way to go, but apparently is no longer being developed. I’m still using it, but there was a conversation a few days ago that might have some leads on good replacements: https://lemmy.ml/post/44804563
Yeah, I sort of figured it’d be too much. It looks like there are a bunch of booking plugins for Wordpress. That’s definitely where I’d start my search in your shoes.
I’ve been using Odoo CE for some projects and I know that it has apps for scheduling and booking, but if you want to add this to an existing website, that may be overkill.
What platform does your site use? That may help target some suitable options.

I don’t have a real preference, but one more advantage to the plugin route is that if you need something that’s not available, cobbling together a plugin is much simpler than modify most projects directly.
I recently spent a lot of time doing this with Odoo and I was very grateful for the modularity.
By the way, in case you haven’t found it, there is a pretty decent wysiwyg editor plugin for DokuWiki. I use it at work and it’s been pretty simple for my users.
I’m sure you already know this, but do note that with Z2 compared to mirrors, you should expect a decrease in performance and an increase in rebuild times in the event of a drive failure. Not saying don’t do it, but make sure the perceived benefits are worth the trade offs.
Here’s some more info on the topic: https://jrs-s.net/2015/02/06/zfs-you-should-use-mirror-vdevs-not-raidz/.
Very interesting idea. I’ve gotten into the habit of using something like /^-o to search for short flags.
I hear you and I’m all for diving in—breaking things is half the fun.
If you’re after something straightforward for NAS software, another thing to consider would be vanilla Debian with Cockpit and 45Drives’ excellent filesharing plug in. I like the combo quite a bit.
Enjoy the journey!
Personally, I wouldn’t bother wiping the asustor. There’s nothing wrong with OpenMediaVault, but it’s not any more straight forward than TrueNAS. If you’re looking for beginner simple, maybe something like HexOS or CasaOS would be more to your liking. But that makes me wonder about Proxmox for this setup. I love Proxmox and use it extensively at home and at work. It’s incredibly powerful and flexible, but it’s a lot less hand-holdy than TrueNAS. By all means give them all a try—thats the fun—but expect a learning curve before things really click.
There’s definitely nothing magic about ports 443 and 80. The risk is always that the underlying service will provide a vulnerability through which attackers could find a way. Any port presents an opportunity for attack; the security of the service is the is what makes it safe or not.
I’d argue that long tested services like ssh, absent misconfiguration, are at least as safe as most reverse proxies. That doesn’t mean to say that people won’t try to break in via port 22. They sure will—they try on web ports too.
I like @pgo_lemmy’s answer best, but instead of rebuilding the original system, (assuming you did the default ZFS installation) you can add the bigger device as part of a mirror, let it resilver, install the boot loader, and then detach the smaller device from the mirror. It should automatically grow to the bigger size once the smaller device is removed and the only downtime you’d have is from installing the bigger device. Check the PVE wiki and you should find some details on this method.
