I’m running three servers: one for home automation/NVR, one for NAS/media services, and one for network/firewall services.

Does this breakdown look doable based on the hardware? Should the services be ditributed differently for better efficiency?

Server 1 and 3 are already up and running. I just received my NAS, and am trying to decide where to run each service to best take advantage of my hardware.

I’m also considering UnRaid instead of Proxmox for a NAS OS. I just chose Proxmox because I’m familiar with it, and I like the ability to snapshot. I also intend to run Proxmox Backup Server offsite at some point, and I like the PVE/PBS integration.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

    Thanks for the advice! I have local backups, but in looking to use more self-hosted services, I want an offsite backup in case, say, my house burns down. That way I don’t lose all my photos, etc.

    I’ve decided to forego a mail server– you’re not the first to tell me it’s very difficult to maintain and setup properly, ha!
