Proxmox uses LXC for containers and KVM for virtualization. TrueNAS SCALE (now) uses LXC for containers and KVM for virtualization. Is there any use-case left where it still makes sense to run SCALE inside of Proxmox, or is it just as good/peformant to have SCALE handle both NAS duties as well as the other things I would normally run in containers and VMs?
Could I, for example, set up a container/VM that needs especially quick I/O or a very fast single-thread CPU process in SCALE and expect the results to be about as good as they would have been in Proxmox, or is there more to it?
Well, I am interested in this, too. Just planning my next home server.
My thoughts so far: Truenas will be one VM, and some other things I might want to run in separate VMs outside of Truenas. I don’t know yet if I can have complete VMs managed by Truenas.
You can - I currently have a few “real” VMs running along side LXC containers for Linux-based stuff that isn’t docker-ized yet, and of course a bunch of individual apps (jellyfin, photoprism, etc.) that come from truenas’s library and run in Docker containers natively. So everything seems to be working well, I just wonder if there’s something I’m missing out on (FOMO/grass is always greener, etc., etc.)
If you have a cluster in proxmox it’s probably worth it to keep. I have one for my NAS, one for my webserver, and one for my game server.
Why would it be slower? Performance should be the same since they are all using the same underlying technology.
