Hey @RostislavDugin

As said before: love the app! But would you accept a PR that changes some of the wording in the app? Some things are a named in a bit of a quaint way.

  • "Use HTTPS" for a database connection doesn't make a lot of sense. It should probably be "Use SSL" (like it is in some of the storage configuration screens).

  • At the top of the screen on the right, it reads "xxx of xxx GB ROM used (xx.x%)". The word "ROM" is not really logical either: it makes more sense to call this "storage" or "local storage" or something like that. After all, it looks at the size / free space of the /databasus-data mountpoint.

  • The word "NAS" in "Add storage" isn't quite logical either. It actually configures an SMB share, which could work for a Windows server as well.

Bringing this up before starting to change things, as suggested in this docs.
