Setting Up NAS Server On Proxmox

Thx for this video! I'd like to rename the shared folder from public to something else. How can I do this?

Isn't casaos a better solution? It has a dedicated file manager, a docker appstore and samba share with gui

While it's good to be judicious on resources, I believe you can over provision resources.

i love you video's. It help me a lot. In this case I had to alter the command by adding "-p" in your command: "-d dperson/samba -p". Otherwise the permission were not persistent and i could not write to the share

When you virtualise software in a virtual container inside a virtual machine installed in a virtual environment that thinks it’s on bare metal but is… in fact… in the cloud.

Damn, I was all in on this until you got to docker. I was looking forward to seeing how you would be configuring Samba directly in the CT itself.

Hi, if we delete files they do not actually delete on the server. How could we enable that ?

Lol you cut right at the part I expected you to show apparmor config.

if you are limited on resources - mainly RAM - you can fine tune ZFS otherwise Proxmox will use 50% of your RAM just to support ZFS

How to setup home server on new version of unraid?

I read on their discord that the zima blade doesn’t have enough power to supply 3.5 inch larger tb size drives during startup so i canceled by preorder which was very disappointing tbh

Zfs is bugging! Mdadm rules for soft raid.

I've been playing with alpine for a cluster built out of old nucs. Alpine does a good job of keeping out of the way. I also setup samba and NFS, but on the host since ZFS will manage both for me.

Very cool!

Two things:

1) Does/can the Proxmox host see what the container sees in terms of the data/content that's in the share folder?

2) Are you able to share this folder WITHOUT using the network stack? (i.e. other VMs and containers that are running on the same host do NOT need to go through the network stack to be able to get access to the data?

Proxmox could be the best of them all if it had builtin SMB/NFS sharing, UPS shutdown, SNMP, one click/file config backup and restore and acreens for other basic configs.

Basically, all the festures of Truenas Scale.

Isn't Proxmox built on a non-Enterprise Linux? How stable is this thing?

I run OMV in a vm and its working well for me.

I'm just building out a new proxmox server... But storage was already done last week 😭😭😭 I went with unraid for storage only. Except I'm looking to run arr stack as containers on unraid.

I have a similar set-up but have samba installed directly and use a priviledged container with my main HDD pool mounted in the container (I know this is less secure, but I only use on my home network with only a couple of known users and have the network behind an Opnsense firewall) . I find I can then share files more easily between VM and CTs without having to map UID's/GID's. Using the Samba Docker is interesting, and I'll give it a try.

I tried doing a fresh install of Proxmox 8.1 but it wouldn't locate my drives. It would ask me to restart. I couldn't get to installation. Proxmox 8.0 didn't give me issues.

Dude! I JUST did this - I'm literally copying my 15TB of junk over onto the new 36TB (24TB) ZFS zraid6 pool while typing this - shows "More than 1 day" left...personally I ended up creating a samba share inside of proxmox itself but then mapped it to an Ubuntu VM on that server which then also just shared it back out...its just easier than changing over allllllll of the stuff in my homelab that needs data to pull from the proxmox box directly since I have a couple dozen VMs....anyways keep up the great content!

have you tried the cockpit on proxmox with --no-install-recommends?
i feel like its a litte easier on resource management wise instead of dealing with the sub system.
45drive's houston has zfs module works with cockpit as well as a smb/nfs ( file-sharing and identities )
i also like their navigator

I'm actually glad your doing this playlist as I have a Zimablade pre-ordered! I got the maxed out one with the drive cage and cords.

you gonna make me love proxmox again!

thanks for great vid,
Mohammed from egypt

I want to buy that case for the hard drives , where can I find it?

Great tutorial. This is exactly what I’m doing except I’m using casaos instead of raw docker

Where can I purchase the enclosure for the 2 drives on this video?; great content!!

Would you consider doing a Cheph setup on Proxmox?

make vid reg unprivileged LXC as i run in to problems when hosting NAS and transmision on same PVE

Great Video. I'am gonna use OpenMediavault based on Debian for my NAS and its working like a Charm

great idea! a proxmox doing all series!

What do you guys do when you feel like you've done everything you can think of with your home lab? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Also proxmox has a file server lxc template built in. Im sure you know but just in case someone wants something a little easier to setup... I find turnkey pretty good.
