Hello

I cannot decide which OS I should I install, I have the following machine which will be on 24/7:

  • intel Core i7 9700
  • 2x32GB RAM
  • 1x 256GB M.2 SSD (Booting OS)
  • 2x4TB Samsung 870 QVO

and I will use it for:

  • NextCloud or other self-hosted cloud
  • Git Server (Git Tea or GitLab)
  • Plex Server
  • VirtualMin
  • DNS Server
  • FTP/Samba Server
  • Remote Downloader

I will also configure each service with a subdomain and HTTPS, for example:

I am a Web Developer and most of apps can also be ran with docker or in a VM and I will be also developing my own APIs so portability is essential because in the future some of the apps will be ran on a VPS

I am also comfortable reading documentation and configuring everything with ssh/CLI, so configuring things with a UI is nice to have but not mandatory.

I have played with both Ubuntu Server and TrueNas Scale in the past, felt comfortable with both but still for my needs, its a little bit unclear to me with which I should go for.

    Hello, by the way, should the vm disks of virtual machines be placed in TrueNAS, or should the hard disks storing vm disks be directly managed by Proxmox?

      Ideally you use a second nvme drive dedicated to storing VM’s - but if not you’ll want them stored on the proxmox drive, not inside TrueNAS.
