My own approach is to run vm/lxc of SSDs that’s are hosted on proxmox directly.
Then I have a truenas with Nas storage. I mount that through SMB to proxmox and pass the different dirs into the vm/lxc that need them.
SSD are much better performance for vm/lxc.
Edit: even running the Nas as a vm i would mount it with SMB, making it easy to spilt them up later if you want. Also I have 10gbit netcards between the nas and proxmox.
Install proxmox, and play around with Linux containers, if it goes wrong just delete it and start over. Also installing change detection is quite easy using helper scripts: https://helper-scripts.com/scripts?id=Change+Detection
Just curious, is there anything like that for Facebook? Facebook groups specifically.
I’ve been using proxmox mainly with lxc containers for years. I gave an lxc running docker and portainer, for a few services I have running in docker.
I wouldn’t do it with anything critical it anything that needs mich performance or resources. But honestly most things don’t need that.
So is you like me just need a few docker containers and you already have everything else running - this can be a fine way to do it. Go for it :)
I have arr in lxc also, I just map a folder from the host into the lxc containers. It’s working flawless, plus it’s quite flexible.
I also have a few things running in docker, but if I can get it in lxc I do that.
And it’s so easy doing with the scripts from the page I linked to you:)
Just run it in an lxc? I’ve installed it using: https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/
Honestly I’ve been using Google play books for years, just upload pdf or epub and you have it on phone, ipad and computer. Plus it remembers how far you are on between devices.
Readarr for storing on own server, before I upload them.
It worked really well for me, used to have two domains on it, have one now - it made sense to move one of them to an old legacy gmail to have integrated calendar.
Anyway, been happy about mxroute, from what I read they are quite strict about not using it to bulk email, but I’m just using it for my personal mail, so that’s not an issue.
They also provide access to smtp logs in and out, makes it easy to see if an email was sent out received.
The downside is the 10gb space, but if you like me are only a few people then it’s most likely not an issue.
I’ve bought mxroute lifetime a year ago, so far it been working really good. I use imap for my mail, my wife gets it forwarded to Gmail - both works fine.
Plus I can use mxroute smtp from my self host server to send mails from the services on it.
Could be worth to look into.
Isn’t the frontend stuff open source? So even if they change something, others might make a fork?
I took my truenas some months ago and installed proxmox on that server instead.
I can’t from your post figure out what you need truenas for? Proxmox runs zfs, etc?
I made an lxc container with samba to share the discs in proxmox.
Proxmox and use lxc containers, easy to do with scripts from here: https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/
I’m running the app in an lxc on proxmox for unifi, works perfectly:)
I’m undecided about getting dedicated hardware for OpnSense. It would be nice when rebooting, but I don’t do that often. But then again, it runs fine on the server as a virtual medicine so no need for an extra machine to use power.
For now it will stay virtual. :)
I use unifi access points for wifi, and have an OpnSense router/firewall running on my server (proxmox).
That works really well, only negative ting is that if I reboot my server the internet is down while doing that. But that doesn’t happen very often.
I’m not op, but: I have 10gbit between by truenas server and my proxmox server. The use case is faster access to files from my proxmox server.
1gbit is actually quite slow when we talk disk speed.
