Zyxel NAS542 running with other OS? (3 replies)

Hello guys,

I am new to this forums, but I have searched it before i post this topic.

I have bought 2 years ago Zyxel NAS542. The warranty is unfortunately already off and today I have found out, that Zyxel put end-of-life support to support this model. And I am pretty pissed off about it on Zyxel, before I bought completly new NAS two years ago, expecting to use it for at least 5-8 years.

I have seen that there is this option: https://github.com/fbelavenuto/arpl

But as Zyxel NAS542 doesnt have any VGA, DP, HDMI, etc. it is practically impossible for me to install it common way. I have also another Synology NAS and I absolutely love their DSM system.

So my question is, if there is any way how I can get DSM info the Zyxel NAS 542? Or TrueNas?

My main goal is to keep receiving security updates, so my system would be protected. Sadly, i dont have money to buy new NAS, because of my pending divorce and when I was buying this Zyxel, I have never tought, that they will reach end-of-life support so fast. This nas is basically a new machine.

As for the Debian, I have really basic skills with it, so I prefer something with webUI, to set it up, turn on and forget about it for next few years so I can keep collecting money for new NAS.

I would be really grateful for your suggestions, help or advice how to achieve this goal.

Plase don't be mad on me, I am working with all I can have now, due to personal family issues.
