I spent years hacking around the limitations of proprietary NAS OSs (QTS/QuTS) on my QNAP hardware. After dropping $1500 on a new TS-873A only to find that even with ZFS, I was stuck with 3-minute boot times and black-box abstractions that broke my optimizations, I hit a wall.
I tried the usual suspects—TrueNAS, OMV, ZimaOS—but they all felt like they traded 'easy UI' for the ability to actually keep the stack in tune with the latest stable Debian/ZFS features.
Sovereign Stack is the result of moving that 'control' back to the bare metal. It’s built on the tools I spent years perfecting for my own lab, now unified into a cohesive, AGPLv3-licensed fabric that treats the OS, file system, and identity as first-class citizens.
