I was thinking about changing my server’s OS (currently using Ubuntu server)

Which would be the best in the case of only using docker and ZFS?

I thought that Debian would be more debloated and efficient but I need a Web UI and from what I have seen TrueNAS is very complete and is not absurdly slow, let me know your thoughts!

I’d just do omv. It’s headless debian with web ui.

OpenMediaVault is a Debian server with a Web UI.

portainer.io with debian gives you a web UI if that’s the only thing stopping you.
There’s a Community Edition (CE) here: https://www.portainer.io/install

Would recommend dockge over portainer if you only need a web gui for docker-compose. Faster, snappier, compatible with cli, simple file structure etc.

Oooh I’ll have to take a look into this. I’ve been feeling a bit let down by Portainer as I’ve slowly picked up a slightly better understanding of docker

100% this. Long long time portainer user. With multiple upgrade failures where it would not move my container setup forward i moved to dockge after it got remote system support. The difference in simplicity is night and day.

I’m going to give a shout out to Ironicbadger over at https://perfectmediaserver.com/

One of his most recent builds was on promox

I’ve been running his 2017 version of Debian with docker-compose - zfs and mergerfs. And it’s been rock solid for ages and ages.
