running Media Services on NAS or separate server (feddit.org)

Question to all the experienced folks here:

I'm restructuring my home setup to have the following

NAS, likely truenas, lots of storage, with shares to hold all data like photos and Linux iso's
small server, probably proxmox with Ubuntu vm, running most of the services (reverse proxy, oidc server, pw manager, etc)

The 2 services I'm indecisive about are nextcloud and jellyfin, since they directly rely on the big files. Would you run them directly on the nas, or on the vm with volumes mounted over the network?

With TrueNas you can do it two ways: ISCSI disks that are mounted to the VMs or via NFS. With ISCSI you won't have access to the data from the TrueNas side as the data will be stored as a volume file. With NFS you get the best of both worlds as you'll be able to access the files via other TrueNas services like SMB/SFTP. I have my Jellyfin/Plex running via NFS and have few issues, though I've not tested it with large 4k/8k videos yet. I mostly run 1080p.
