    Poking around the internet looking for a NAS Distro to try. I was planning on going to FreeNAS Corral since it had Docker Integration...but we know how that went :( Seems like most people have gone to ZFS historically because it was more stable than BTRFS, but is that still the case today...

    Docker Swarm Management with Rancher - Wow

    I ended up installing Rancher today. It took slightly longer than Portainer and Shipyard. It runs more services across the nodes and requires privileged mode.
