I have a couple of success stories. I've did a bare metal install on a Gigabyte GA-78LMT / AMD FX6300 combo about 2 weeks ago and it has been running rock solid. I set it up as a DS3615xs Bromolow 7.0.1-42218 platform using Redpill v0.4.5. I've been pushing it for days with about 12TB of sync'ing and 5 containers running. It's been going so good that I have moved to it as my primary NAS in place of my Synology DS1513+. The Gigabyte was previously used in my vSphere cluster so it has 32GB of ram and 3 NICs, which should make it a nice NAS / Docker / VM combo. I was so impressed with how easy the install was, that I went for the upgrade on my Asus P5B / Intel Core Duo that I've been running Jun's boot loader 1.02b/DSM 6.1.4 since 2019. It's pretty old hardware, I believe 15 years now but it's been running great with 8GB and 3 NICs for the last 3 years. It was mainly used as a second backup to my DS1513+ and where I ran Docker. The Redpill install went pretty easy. I did have to disable the second SATA controller (wasn't using it anyway) in the BIOS but besides that the upgrade from 6.1.4 to 7.0.1 went great. I did an in place upgrade keeping all the data and configs and everything appears to be working well so far and all the packages got automatically updated. I set it up as a DS3615xs Bromolow 7.0.1-42218 platform using Redpill v0.4.5.
