Funny, I also have a mini-PC and a 4TB USB drive. That's helpful though. Is it possible to mount the entire drive to two different containers? Or does it have to be separate "chunks" of it?
For example, I want a container for Plex and another container for Samba to share the drive on my network. Both would be installed on the internal SSD. Can I set it up so both containers have direct access to the entire external drive at the same time?
Thanks. That's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if it was easier to have Plex and samba in the same container since I want both to directly access the hard drive.
That's really helpful thanks. I should be able to Google around and figure out how to install samba. Would you recommend installing samba directly on the host or spinning up a dedicated VM or LXC to install there?
I'm planning on running Plex in a LXC. Maybe install Samba on that container alongside Plex?
I just wanted to get suggestions on how to start out with something simple, specifically making that USB hard drive available on my network + the LXC for Plex.
I have a good idea how to do the other things I mentioned, but the network storage aspect is challenging. I think it's because there are probably many ways to accomplish this, so I don't know how to choose what's best as a beginner. Lots of new terminology and a poor understanding on how things work together.
I want to completely switch over to proxmox and ditch windows on the server. Sorry if that wasn't clear in the post.
I just want to replicate the functionality but proxmox (and Linux in general) is very new to me.
Yeah your solution would be the best if I didn't have fan wiring going to the wall. I wouldn't want to make the wall switch totally obsolete.
I looked at the Treatlife but apparently they changed the chipset and it's no longer flashable :/
Beware of the kingkiller chronicles
Ended up being one of my favorite book series of all time and when I was almost done with book two, I learned that book three hasn't been released in over 10 years. It's a whole thing with fans going a little crazy over it.
I would be comfortable with that, but I definitely prefer devices that retain the wall controls like a normal wall switch. And will work even if the smart home goes down. I should have mentioned that in my post.
This is why a toggle is best.
This change has completely ruined the app for me. I really really wish it were a toggle.
Hey, speaking of which, has anyone made a community like /r/enlightenedcentrism? I've been missing that.
Your comment sounds really helpful, but I'm going to have to come back and read it when I understand things more lol
