Thanks, those are good links. I don’t know anything about power supplies/demands, sorry I can’t be a better conversation partner.
There might be similar boards on AliExpress, but I haven’t seen ones with as many SATA ports.
The are similar (the same?) boards all over Amazon and AliExpress. I would be interested in knowing what you find out. Good luck!
I’ve been looking at this for a bit: https://a.co/d/2FMhmIY
I haven’t checked any reviews, but it might be something to look into.
Not OP, but I use this download manager. It has been good.
I’ve got a Frankenstein setup that wasn’t really thought out that well when I started. I’ll probably end up changing it later. If you go the Proxmox route, check out the partitioning suggestions carefully before you begin.
I’ve got an old minitower that replaced a mini PC setup. I wanted to bring my hdd into the box and connect via SATA instead of an external HDD on USB. I’ll probably get a bigger case to make installing HDDs more convenient.
I don’t really understand the partitioning to be honest. I have a 512gb nvme that is split up into a couple of partitions for VMs, ISO’s, backups and things for Proxmox. Then I have some other HDDs and SSDs that I use for files. Nothing in raid yet, but I’m hoping to add a couple of more HDDs. Then I’ll connect them to OMV and put them in raid.
I’m currently hosting radarr, sonarr, prowlarr and overseerr. It’s really convenient.
When I was in your shoes about 8 months ago, I opted for Proxmox and don’t regret it. Since then, I’ve been able to try different NAS OSs, experiment with different hosted services, etc. it gives you a lot of freedom to set up a VM, try a bunch of stuff, and then delete it and implement a fresh solution when you’re satisfied with something.
If you do that, you might consider having the operating system and VMs on one disk. If you decide on NAS software, many pass through the storage drives to the NAS directly.
I’m probably going to end up with the following:
I hope this is helpful!
I have an off-site Synology that is also killing me trying to get it connected. Did you realize they don’t allow ssh on their VPN service?
For me, pros are:
Cons
Hope this is helpful.
So use syncthing on all your devices. It will let you selectively sync folders.
