  • In general, container root filesystems and the images backing them will not function on NFS. When deploying containers, you should be mounting data volumes into the containers rather than storing things on the container root filesystems. Hopefully you are already doing that, otherwise you’re going to need to manually copy data out of the containers. Personally, if all you’re talking about is 32 gigs max, I would just stop all of the containers, copy everything to the new NFS locations, and then re-create the containers to point at the new NFS locations.

    All this said though, some applications really don’t like their data stored on NFS. I know Plex really doesn’t function well when it’s database is on NFS. But, the Plex media directories are fine to host from NFS.











  • Annoying yes, but I’d argue that’s likely the simplest and most performant approach. At best (IPTables NAT), you’d be adding in an extra network hop to your SMB connections which would effect latency, and SMB is fairly latency sensitive especially for small files. And at worst (Traefik), you’d adding in a user-space layer 7 application that needs to forward every bit of traffic going over your SMB connection.



  • I have a feeling routing SMB traffic through Traefik is going to be a performance and latency nightmare. Is your TrueNAS VM’s network interface bridged to your home network? If so, use a static IP and just have clients connect directly. If not, your best bet is likely iptables NAT to forward a port from your Proxmox servers IP to the TrueNAS VM.
