I recently asked about an alternative to Google Drive, and someone mentioned Synology. After some digging, I came across xpenology.

Since I already have an Intel NUC (proxmox), I decided to give it a go and got it successfully setup in a dedicated VM.

Now that Synology looks very powerful, I decided to go with it while also planing to upgrade my current NUC setup from 250GB ssd/750GB HD to 2tb nvme/2tb SSD.

While doing that, I was wondering whether I should keep my current VM (fedora) that runs some docker services like proxmox portainer, reverse-proxy, blocky, etc or whether I should move these to the xpenology VM.

Edit: I just realized, my comment was confusing due to a typo… To clarify: I run proxmox on bare-metal and have two VMs in there, Fedora and xpenology. So in short, is the Fedora VM redundant while having a powerfull synology OS already running?

    Sorry, due to a typo, there’s some confusion. I do run proxmox bare-metal, with 2 VMs: Fedora, xpenology.
