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

      As much as I dislike being locked into the “ecosystem” of truecharts, you’re absolutely right that its the future.

        You don’t actually have to learn either of them to get the system working

        They actually did a really good job of making it user-friendly

      From the brief research I just did, this does seem like a good direction to take. However I’m doing a lot of learning right now and I’m trying to stick with just one or two technologies at a time and adding in Kubernetes and Helm is a little beyond me right now.

          Nobody should run k8s/k3s without understanding how they work lol, that’s a recipe for lost data.
