Hi all,
So start off with my hardware:
Dual Xeon 32 Core 2.1ghz, 128gb RAM, Dual 10gbe, Quadro P2000 (Plex/Emby Transcoding)
Storage I was thinking of going with:
2x 250gb SSD
2x 128gb SSD Boot Mirror
2x 1tb SSD Docker containers and downloads
18x 8tb HDD's Storage (If I go ZFS, thinking 2 vdev's of 9 drives each in RaidZ2)
Currently I'm using unRAID with Plex/Emby/Sonarr/Radarr/NZBget/LetsEncrypt (might move this to my OPNsense Router)/Hydra/NextCloud/Syncthing Dockers.
I was thinking Proxmox with FreeNAS ontop (liking the idea of ZFS) and then something running Portainer or something for Dockers. I'm battling to get my head around a lot of aspects of this.
I could run FreeNAS baremetal, but was thinking of Plex/Emby Transcoding issues.
Was also thinking about future upgrades if I wanna rebuild FreeNAS or something I can save a snapshot.
But getting my head around how Sonarr/Radarr will download and then pass that data to the storage array is making my head hurt (permission wise)
I could use Proxmox and create a ZFS Pool via Proxmox and then pass that through to OMV or something else maybe?
Or maybe just use OMV itself with ZFS, and Portainer built in?
Just kinda trying to find the best home NAS solution.
I like unRAID that I am currently using, and have it setup well but 2 things:
1) I like to tinker and learn new things
2) I find that pushing 4k high bitrate stuff through unRAID painfully slow with it using only 1 drive at a time. So I'd like to use a raid of some sort, and really like ZFS or better yet OpenZFS.
Any thoughts, and sorry for the ramble.
