    My own approach is to run vm/lxc of SSDs that’s are hosted on proxmox directly.

    Then I have a truenas with Nas storage. I mount that through SMB to proxmox and pass the different dirs into the vm/lxc that need them.

    SSD are much better performance for vm/lxc.

    Edit: even running the Nas as a vm i would mount it with SMB, making it easy to spilt them up later if you want. Also I have 10gbit netcards between the nas and proxmox.




  • I’ve been using proxmox mainly with lxc containers for years. I gave an lxc running docker and portainer, for a few services I have running in docker.

    I wouldn’t do it with anything critical it anything that needs mich performance or resources. But honestly most things don’t need that.

    So is you like me just need a few docker containers and you already have everything else running - this can be a fine way to do it. Go for it :)


  • I have arr in lxc also, I just map a folder from the host into the lxc containers. It’s working flawless, plus it’s quite flexible.

    I also have a few things running in docker, but if I can get it in lxc I do that.

    And it’s so easy doing with the scripts from the page I linked to you:)




  • It worked really well for me, used to have two domains on it, have one now - it made sense to move one of them to an old legacy gmail to have integrated calendar.

    Anyway, been happy about mxroute, from what I read they are quite strict about not using it to bulk email, but I’m just using it for my personal mail, so that’s not an issue.

    They also provide access to smtp logs in and out, makes it easy to see if an email was sent out received.

    The downside is the 10gb space, but if you like me are only a few people then it’s most likely not an issue.

    I’m running the app in an lxc on proxmox for unifi, works perfectly:)

    I’m undecided about getting dedicated hardware for OpnSense. It would be nice when rebooting, but I don’t do that often. But then again, it runs fine on the server as a virtual medicine so no need for an extra machine to use power.

    For now it will stay virtual. :)

    I use unifi access points for wifi, and have an OpnSense router/firewall running on my server (proxmox).

    That works really well, only negative ting is that if I reboot my server the internet is down while doing that. But that doesn’t happen very often.
