As the title states, how would you set it up? I’ve got an HP EliteDesk G5, what are the strengths and weaknesses of either:
- ProxMox with one VM running TrueNAS and another VM running Nextcloud
- TrueNAS on bare metal with Nextcloud running in docker
- Some other setup
I’d like to be able to easily expand and backup the storage available to Nextcloud as needed and I’d also like the ability to add additional VMs/containers/services as needed
Maybe you could install nextcloud in docker on a separate VM (I use Debian) and then mount a Truenas network share in docker.
Trying to use TrueNAS for anything but a file share is not going to work well in terms of flexablity
That’s where I’m at now. Same kind of issue as OP. Wanting more out of my bare metal!
Proxmox VMs shouldn’t have much of a performance penalty compared to bare metal. (Assuming you have virtualization and similar extensions enabled)
