While this post is in support of a self-hosting platform, the request itself is storage-related. I would recommend that you reach out to https://lemmy.world/c/zfs or https://discourse.practicalzfs.com/.

Starting with Season 5, Voyager did what the TNG movies did: they focused on the captain and the most popular crew member. Janeway & 7 of 9 became the new Picard & Data.

Doing God’s work.

The problem with managing replication outside of PVE is ‘what do you do when you have to move the VM/CT to another node?’ Are you going to move the conf file manually? It’s too much manual work.

Let PVE manage all of the replication. Use Sanoid for stuff that isn’t managed by Proxmox.

Home assistant integration could accomplish this for you. Not sure if it’s less work than regular mobile clients, though.

That didn’t answer the question. Is there an answer to this question, or a way to find the answer? I don’t see any way to see Feature Requests for NeoChat. Only instructions for submitting PRs.

EDIT: Found it in the KDE Bug Tracker - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466606

I thought that looked familiar, but didn’t want to assume that lighthouse stairways are unique.

Ok. Thats pretty cool!

I think fans of Nix and NixOS would agree.

Great song

This is really more of a home networking issue than anything having to do with self-hosting. Please consider posting this in one of the many Lemmy home networking communities.

This is a question probably better-suited for one of the Proxmox communities. But, I’ll give it a try.

Regarding your concerns about new SSDs and old VM configs: why not upgrade to PVE8 on the existing hardware? This would seem to mitigate your concerns about PVE8 restoring VMs from a PVE7 system. Still, I wouldn’t expect it to be a problem either way.

Not sure about your TrueNAS question. I wouldn’t expect any issues unless a PVE8 installs brings with it a kernel driver change that is relevant to hardware.

Finally, there are several config files that would be good to capture for backup. Proxmox itself doesn’t have a quick list, but this link has one that looks about right: https://www.hungred.com/how-to/list-of-proxmox-important-configuration-files-directory/

Is there any actual research? All I see are TikTok videos and Reddit comments.

Love another iOS option.

Nextcloud Photos performs okay, but the interface is very ‘meh’. Plus, the mobile client’s sync is a little unstable. On iOS, there’s no background sync at all.

This seems the correct advice. If the container is on the same host as the data, there’s no need to access the data via Samba. In fact, it’s likely the container doesn’t contain the samba client needed for such connectivity.

Assuming TrueNAS allows the containers to see local data, a bind mount is the way to go.

wtf ?

Maybe some castration along the way, too.

Right. You kind of want your bare metal OS as vanilla as possible. If you need to nuke and pave, you don’t need to worry about re-applying various configs. Additionally, on a theoretical level, if there’s a bug in something on the bare metal OS, the separation provided by VMs and containers should mean it doesn’t affect the the apps in those VMs / containers.

That seems easier - at least to me - than keeping track of configs in text files or even Ansible playbooks.
