A family member is interested in self-hosting their photos! They asked me if there is a NAS I would recommend.

They’re not very technical. They can manage their own Macbook, but not much else.

I can’t recommend them my setup because I built my own computer and just run Debian and Docker.

They would definitely need a ton of hand holding. I think they can manage clicking a web UI though. Any terminal stuff will probably scare them away.

Anyone have any recommendations? Something from QNAP, Ugreen, Zima, or something else?

They’re mainly interested in self-hosting photos. I was hoping to get them on Immich. I could see them doing some file hosting too. So maaaybe running Seafile would be nice. Or maybe just NFS.
