Hello, I'm seeking advice.
I need help with a new setup. Currently, I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with OpenMediaVault (installed on microSD) + Portainer + Docker running from a USB HDD, but I'm not satisfied with this configuration - it looks messy and is a bit slow.
I'm considering buying an Odroid H4+ with 2 or 3 SSD disks to run NAS + Nextcloud (and possibly Home Assistant) on that server. What would be the best option for me? I like how TrueNAS operates, but it seems a bit too powerful for my needs. Should I:
- Use TrueNAS Scale with Nextcloud and Home Assistant as apps on TrueNAS?
- Use Proxmox with multiple VMs (NAS, Nextcloud, Home Assistant, ...)?
- Use OpenMediaVault with the KVM plugin and run Nextcloud within OpenMediaVault?
- Or consider something completely different?
I would like to have the OS on a small disk and every other service on a second large disk (or in RAID1).
TrueNAS Scale looks great, but I'm scared by its memory consumption. I'm planning to have a 16GB of memory and 2TB of storage space. Maybe TrueNAS is overkill for me. I only need some space to backup my computer. However, it looks very good, and setting up RAID will be easy. Plus, applications with one click... oh, I absolutely must give it a try at least.
