Question to all the experienced folks here:

I’m restructuring my home setup to have the following

  • NAS, likely truenas, lots of storage, with shares to hold all data like photos and Linux iso’s
  • small server, probably proxmox with Ubuntu vm, running most of the services (reverse proxy, oidc server, pw manager, etc)

The 2 services I’m indecisive about are nextcloud and jellyfin, since they directly rely on the big files. Would you run them directly on the nas, or on the vm with volumes mounted over the network?

    If I had a dedicated NAS and a server for the services, I would choose the consistent path and keep it separated. So I would run nextcloud and jellyfin on the server and let them access storage on the NAS.
