[Discussion] F4-212 - Is it advisable to upgrade from TOS5 to TOS6?

Post by fulvion75 »

Hello,
due to a issue, i had to reinstall TOS5.1.73 on my TNAS. It's a pretty new and clean installation and i was considering to upgrade to TOS6 before doing all the additional configurations i need. I was wondering if my use case would have any benefit from this upgrade as, i think, i make a simple use of my NAS.

I only use the DLNA server and TerraPhoto apps plus SMB sharing, SSH and rsync. But i also had to make some basic changes at OS file level to allow:
  • The pfSense box to update the SSL certificate via SSH with only public key auth
    Configure NUT to monitor a remote UPS (connected to the pfSense box) and shutdown the NAS after 5 minutes on battery
    Create firewall rules i wasn't able to create via the web interface (i'd like to be more specific but, honestly, can't remember how the GUI was preventing me to do it. I only remember i had to manually edit the config file the GUI uses, to add some of the rules i needed)
    Make NAS work with specific clients from a different subnet (limited to the mentioned apps and protocols). Probably a consequence of the previous point, though
Can i achieve the same in case of an upgrade to TOS6? likely by only using the web interface?
Also, just a curiosity, i think i remember that in TOS5 the whole filesystem had rwx rights for Others. Is this changed in TOS6?

thanks in advance for your time
ciao!

The functions available on TOS5 can almost all be implemented on TOS6. However, the TOS6 applicable to F4-212 is currently only available as a Beta package. For more detailed information and instructions, please refer to:
