Thank You

@tomspark I just wanna say well done, sir. This was an amazingly simple project to get up and running. I struggled at first trying on a barebones Debian Trixie VM with 4 cores and 8 GB of RAM. Only 64 GB drive space, but I nfs mount my NAS to /opt/sparkbox/share. I also installed that as a sudo user, which was a mistake. After reading some recommendations here, I dumped Trixie and went with an Ubuntu server. Still 4 cores, 16 GB RAM, and 128 GB SSD. Same nfs mount. Things went much more smoothly the second time. I was up and running the second time in about 4 hours. This is a very well thought-out and executed project. Thank You. Tom AI was also very helpful. I will be making another contribution.

This genuinely made my day — thank you. 🙏 Stuff like this is exactly why I built it. And thanks for sharing the journey — your notes (Ubuntu Server over Debian Trixie, NFS-mounting the NAS, keeping the install simple) are really useful for the next person who lands on this thread. Up and running in ~4 hours with a NAS mount is a great result. Appreciate the backing too — that's what keeps SparkBox free and moving. Enjoy the box! 🙌
