As the title states, how would you set it up? I’ve got an HP EliteDesk G5, what are the strengths and weaknesses of either:
- ProxMox with one VM running TrueNAS and another VM running Nextcloud
- TrueNAS on bare metal with Nextcloud running in docker
- Some other setup
I’d like to be able to easily expand and backup the storage available to Nextcloud as needed and I’d also like the ability to add additional VMs/containers/services as needed
You don’t actually have to learn either of them to get the system working
They actually did a really good job of making it user-friendly
But then if you don’t understand how it works, how do you make off-site backups?
How do you extract data if one day you want to use another os?
What if you want to backup the database?
That’s the beauty of it, when you install the images you select where the storage is on your drives. All you have to do is backup your array and you’ll have backups of the apps too!
it doesn’t seem to have a way to have shell access to the container, what if nextcloud breaks and need to type the
php occ
commands
