Hey all, been running TrueNAS Scale for a few months now on a PC I built along with Proxmox on another mini PC I bought.

I tried setting up my media server on TrueNAS scale but didn't like my NAS running hot and being used so much but tried setting up Jellyfin and the arr media suite on Proxmox but ran into some issues with NFS shares and also SMB shares from TrueNAS along with config issues.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations on how I should setup my media server and home network.

    I run a Plex container on Proxmox and have it connect to my Armbian/OMV NAS via SMB. The way I got SMB shares working was to mount them from the Proxmox host and then mount them read-only from the container. (better security ig) I'd be happy to share my configs although it might take me a couple days to pull them up.

    Another alternative I've been thinking about is buying an external drive rack and attaching it to the outside of my server's PC case. Then running SATA extenders but this might not be possible depending on the kind of mini PC and I've heard extending power can get dicey if you have more than a few drives.

      I run almost exactly the same thing. Plex running in Proxmox VM with a GPU passthrough, and an OMV instance in Proxmox VM hosting all the data shares. Proxmox also hosts multiple Docker stacks for various instances. This is spread out over multiple bare metal boxes.
