You should look into container technology. No reason to have this many operating systems wasting resources
Heh. Container mafia going “hush, don’t worry about iso27002, just one more pull, bro.”
Why do you use two separate Debian VMs plus a truenas VM running nextcloud?
Security is the first thing that comes to mind. Compartmentalization prevents or at least makes it considerably harder for compromised services to screw up all the others.
Another thing would be that it might be easier to manage backups and snapshots.
From my understanding, it’s helpful that each VM will have its own IP so ports can be opened only on specific VMs, increasing overall security.
Nice stack! What’s the crab logo? I don’t recognize it.
Do you notice a massive increase in request latency (like 10x-50x) when using a CloudFlare tunnel vs connecting directly to your IP? I’ve experimented with it a few times, but it really negatively impacts QoS for me, especially with federated services (like Matrix) where there are lots of small requests.
the crab is Homarr and no, i haven’t had any issues with cloudflare
Thanks! I haven’t tried that dashboard yet, I might give it a spin.

Have not noticed that at all. I don’t run any federated services tho. Might be the difference, I don’t know.
Yeah I’m thinking the request frequency was the issue rather than bandwidth.
Is proxmox a viable option to be used on a NUC for example?
Yes, I run it on mine, with an N100 processor. Make sure it’s a recent-ish one with the necessary virtualization extensions. https://www.proxmox.com/en/products/proxmox-virtual-environment/requirements
And obviously more storage and more RAM is better, especially if you plan to use zfs. Keep that in mind when selecting hardware.
Thanks, I will look into the provided link.

nee hoor jij liegenaar
Lol
TruNAS is a VM? I thought it preferred bare metal? I would think it would be side by side with proxmox? (Still learning and planning my setup.
Absolutely no problem with it being virtualized as long as you have a pci storage controller and pass that through to trueNAS. HBA cards can be found that do this without raid or anything so you can use zfs in trueNAS.
I’ve got a virtualized set up to.
Its pretty unbothered being virtualized so long as the disks are passed through. In my set up, I have the SAS board passed through and its using that.
My reasoning is that I wanted a lot of disks space, but I couldn’t get that without just a big case in general, so I use the extra space to store GPUs for AI and encoding stuff

Me2! Nice solid stack you got going there bro.
