So.. as we scramble to look for better solutions to home lab and experimentation post ESXI era...

What is the community thought of the next possible unholy alliance

I was thinking that if proxmox and truenas had a baby that would be pretty cool.. either proxmox bolted onto the NAS as base.. or vis versa..

Well.. that just happened - sort of - with truenas 25.04..

Truenas has jumped around A LOT with its virtualization and container back ends .. much to the dismay of many..

but their new move to incus a LXD fork is compelling ...

for a true home lab type setup.. might just be the next big thing...

I have run hyperconverged ESXI with a vm like nappit or truenas serving ZFS back to esxi and it works..

but the thought of having a proper NAS and its functionality on bare metal.. with a very converged and integrated container and VM solution bolted on ... sounds like a win... ?
