Truenas Scale NAS server, just add the storage.

Thanks!

Ok, stupid question from a stupid person: if I have a phone connected to a local WiFi network, and I type in the URL of a subdomain which points make to that same network ie a hosted service on a home server, what route does the data take from the service back to my phone?

Alternative option: Truenas Scale. Supermicro motherboard. AMD Epyc (used) for lots of PCIE lanes. LSI 9300 and AEC 82885 expander. 16TB+ drives. Rack mount, with SAS back planea. RaidZ2 minimum. Special vdev, NVMe drives and dedicated apps and VM storage, don’t be afraid of a converged solution.

And fans. Lots of fans.

Pretty sure truenas scale can host everything you want so you might only want one server. Use Epyc for the pcie lanes, and a fractal design r7 XL and you could even escape needing a rack mount if you wanted. Use a pcie to m.2 adapter and you could easily host apps on them on a mirrored pool and use a special vdev to speed up the HDD storage pool

The role of the proxmox server would essentially be filled by apps and/or VM you could turn on or off as needed.

Have you got a recent copy of the configuration file?

Offering my experience as an example: I’m a software moron (fine at building a pc, crap at using it) and TrueNas Scale was simple to install and then access on mobile, tablet and via windows PC, at least as simple network attached storage.

When I tried to use it to just jellyfin I hit a brick wall, completely unable to understand how to use the shared datasets.

But as NAS it’s simple with a bookmark to manage.
