Hey y’all, I know getting a setup that feels “right” can be a process. We all have different goals, tech preferences, etc.

I wanted to a share my blog post walking through how I finally built a setup that I can just be happy with and use. It goes over my goals, requirements, tech choices, layout, and some specific problems I’ve resolved.

Where I’ve landed of course isn’t where everyone else will, but I hope it can serve as a good reference. I’ve really benefited from the content and software folks have freely shared, and hope I can continue that and help others.

Happy to answer questions!

    I was truenas on bare metal for the first year or so, but now I run a truenas VM in proxmox, then use those pools as mounts onto the proxmox. it is really cool!

    Until I was in the middle of figuring out how to automate backups of my vms, which paused TrueNas, which was the destination of the backup, was a fun 20 minutes getting it all back running this evening lol
