Same, just TrueNAS instead of OMV. I'm not thinking about unraid at all.

IDK if these support IT mode or the like, but yes, hardware RAID makes this hard.
No idea, does it pass the drives through?
You can just do that yourself regardless of what the server was intended to do, with a cronjob for example. You can also set an idle time after which it spins down with hdparm but that doesn't always work for different reasons.
Maybe you could just spin down/turn off the disks? That will reduce power consumption a lot and they'll get up once requested.
I don't remember them unfortunately, maybe they had some kind of plugin like yours? I was certain that Ghost already has it, but maybe I'm wrong.
I'm pretty sure it does, maybe it needs to be enabled? I think I've seen ghost blogs with fedi comments already.
No because I run my containers elsewhere, not on the NAS
TrueNAS is on bare metal has I have a dedicated NAS machine that's not doing everything else and also is not recommended to virtualize. Not sure if that counts.
Same for the firewall (opnsense) since it is it's own machine.
Does 10G fibre generate less heat in the NIC than 10G Ethernet? I heard those are problematic in the tiny boxes.
What kind of NIC cards do you use?
I found all that TrueNAS back and forth a bit confusing but I'm glad they ended up on Debian as a base. This seems to value FreeBSD but I can't find their reasoning.
