I have a couple of home server, both with Proxmox as hypervisor, one VM with Ubuntu 22.04 that does just Docker containers, one with Open Media Vault, one with Home Assistant (HA OS) and a couple of Windows VM to do some tests. Since I wanted to move from OMV, right now I see 2 options:

stay with Proxmox and find another NAS OS
use Unraid as NAS and hypervisor

What other option would you suggest?

What's your thoughts on ZFS? If that's something you want to do you could go buy a pcie Sata card and then pass it though to a TrueNAS VM.

I've never used it, but for what I've read, ai wonna try it. I think that I'll buy a SATA/SAS controller and pass it to TrueNas/Proxmox. I thinking about installing TrueNas as a VM in Proxmox, what do you think about it?

That's what I do. It works well and its kind of cool having a virtual NAS

Thanks for your feedback!

Do hit the TrueNas forums. It's very important if you're not a ZFS pro.

I had to learn quite a bit before I got my setup right.

The FreeBSD people can be... abrasive at times, let it roll off your back if they are. TN is one of my favorites.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will.!
