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?

    I keep my Linux ISOs on mergerfs over NFS via open media vault. All of them are easily replaced so I don’t bother backing them up.

    Nextcloud, paperless, and photos get their whole image backed up on proxmox local, and a remote PBS. I’m the only user so the sizes are quite manageable.
