I currently have truenas in a VM. I tinker way less with proxmox than I used to since I have kids now. I saw someone create a pool with their drives, create a samba share in docker that was hosted in an LXC container and then assigned that to the user group 777 (definitely my some terminology wrong there) so that everyone would have access. Not the greatest security but it’s only me using it, nobody in my family cares or even knows how to attempt to access it. I would think that’s pretty reliable. I currently pass through the HDD to truenas and do everything in TrueNAS.
Do any of yall do that and how reliable is it? I use my current SMB share in TrueNAS for *arrs and personal data (videos and pix of family). Maybe 40-100GB a month added in an average month. I don’t do any heavy editing or really use any of the main features a NAS offers. I just need a place to drag and drop my data, occasionally go down memory lane with some pictures.
