As the title states, how would you set it up? I’ve got an HP EliteDesk G5, what are the strengths and weaknesses of either:

  • ProxMox with one VM running TrueNAS and another VM running Nextcloud
  • TrueNAS on bare metal with Nextcloud running in docker
  • Some other setup

I’d like to be able to easily expand and backup the storage available to Nextcloud as needed and I’d also like the ability to add additional VMs/containers/services as needed

      Really? I swear I’ve done it.

      Even without shell access, you can run the container and send the entry command. Or run a separate container locally with the data mounted.

        i tried to see, i did not find a way to get shell access

        but i’m not a truenas guru, not at all, i have like 1 week of experience and this k8s stuff with no docker support shocked me. Seems like docker has been removed in the latest release that got published one week ago

          Oh! Okay, once the app is running, you can click the little “3 dot menu” in the top right hand corner and the fourth option down is shell
