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

        Proxmox VMs shouldn’t have much of a performance penalty compared to bare metal. (Assuming you have virtualization and similar extensions enabled)
