Question to all the experienced folks here:
I’m restructuring my home setup to have the following
- NAS, likely truenas, lots of storage, with shares to hold all data like photos and Linux iso’s
- small server, probably proxmox with Ubuntu vm, running most of the services (reverse proxy, oidc server, pw manager, etc)
The 2 services I’m indecisive about are nextcloud and jellyfin, since they directly rely on the big files. Would you run them directly on the nas, or on the vm with volumes mounted over the network?
Either works fine for most homes. for most homes everything on the nas makes sense as that saves energy vs a second always on box. For enterprises you want them separate because you can’t get cpu’s powerful enough.
