Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

SMB for the windows clients, possibly NFS as well for the others. *nix will talk with SMB fine, but NFS may be faster. Windows' NFS support is shit though.
Running both daemons won't really add much overhead
SMB works fine on everything. Whatever NAS they are running will be using the same Samba implementation anyway.
I've found SMB to more frequently have connection issues with my Linux clients, and often be slower. It'll work, but if you're mainly supporting Linux clients, might as well set up NFS if you like toying with things anyways
Same here, SMB was significantly slower in our organization than NFS.
Because SMB is slower than NFS. OP isn't concerned about that, but rather ease of use, and persisting perms and ownership.
Fair enough, i thought it should be noted. The difference was significant at times.
