I have been testing back and forth with different solutions. To start I have 10x 10tb regular drives and 4x 10tb u2 drives. I have been reading all I can about best practices but it seems not being any consistency in this.

1. I could make two local zfs pool on pve and have all benefits of ZFS directly on proxmox

1.2 using then for exactly cockpit in an lxc to handle nfs/samba

1. Setup truenas and make the zfs pools there, and pass them back with zfs over iscsi. This works great, but not with lxc

I am aiming to run many light things like plex on lxc, and not sure how i would solve this. Many of the homelab software uses things like sqlite that doesn’t run well under nfs so passing an nfs to the lxc is not possible.

So my question is. How would you guys suggest I setup this when the goal is a few VM for some major services, and lxc for *arr, caddie, plex etc. yes I know I can use docker, but lxc got a bit less overhead.

Any suggestions?
