Aren't you scared about loosing your data? by ice-h2o in c/main@selfhosted.forum

Have multiple copies of the data. Use snapshots, they don’t get encrypted by a ransomware because they are read only and can’t be accessed via samba or nfs. It’s only a problem when the attacker gets root access to your NAS. Use a cloud provider like backblaze and backup your data encrypted. If you are really scared that ransomeware data will overwrite your backups use 3-2-1 and Grandfather-father-son backup strategy. But all this comes at a cost.

What radicalized you? For me it was Spore. by ice-h2o in c/main@selfhosted.forum

It all started with a raspberry pi… i wanted to host game servers for me and my friends without having to pay for them. This expanded to plex for movies and bookstack for dnd notes. Now I have so many services that I have to look it up to give you a full list.

Wow thank you for your detailed comment. This shows me that I have to do a lot more research about proxmox.

Migrating from proxmox to unraid (alien.top)

Hello everyone,im thinking about migrating from proxmox to unraid but im not sure if this is a good idea and I need some feedback.

I currently have 1 server with consumer hardware which runs proxmox and has 4 VMs:

TrueNAS (2* 4tb)
VM for docker and other services
Game Servers running on an SSD
Game Servers running on an M.2

Im planning on upgrading my storage to 3 * 20TB in the near future.

My goal is it to remove complexity from my homelab and unraid has some features like mixing drive sizes and reduced power consumption. I know that the migration of all the docker containers and volumes will be a pain.

The main reason why I'm thinking about this, is that a the kernel of a friends proxmox killed itself, which was a lots of work to fix.

Would this have a performance impact?Is it possible to run docker containers on different drives?

I'd love to hear your opinions!
