I second this. Setup was a breeze for me compared to checkmk.

Zabbix and a TIG stack

I’ve started to utilize Netbox for all of that. Haven’t gotten to the drives yet, but all my networking connections, power, IP’s, etc. are documented in it.

Not sure why you’re being rude for no reason - maybe you need a cup of coffee. I am learning how things work hence the incorrect thought process. Just because you think you know everything doesn’t mean you have to put everyone else down for not.

FYI on Fortigates (that I am used to working with opposed to *Sense), there is an incoming (source) and outgoing (destination) interface for the rules, so that’s where that thought process originated.

My config probably does factor into some of the issues. To be fair, I’ve never had to block Internet from a single device before, and the rule seemed backwards compared to my thought process.

If I remember correctly, I started using OPNsense in 2020. Since then, my lab and network has evolved tremendously.

You can “expand” it by increasing the capacity of each disk, but that can get costly.

Depending on how you have your vdevs set up, you could just add another.

Dell R240 or R230 with OPNsense would be a great option.

That could be the reason. I have separate datasets for each app, but downloads and media are both mounted to radarr and sonarr.

Not the case for R430 and AFAIK any other Poweredge series.
