Sometimes, when I am all alone i like to fantasize...
preview
that hard drive prices return to normal and think about all the things i can build.
silliness aside, i honestly sit there and plan it out. i wish i pulled the trigger and started earlier. i actually bought two mini pcs before this mess and have one setup running proxmox. o have this beautiful jellyfin -> jellyseer -> radarr/sonarr -> sazbd -> gluetun -> newsreader setup on proxmox and i founf 1 8tb wd red plus on sale that i put in a ugreen nas running truenas and its filling up quickly.
i wont move to nextcloud until i get a second drive for mirroring. i still have to find a place to backup those future files as well.
there is not really a point tp this post except i know people here feel my pain. how i dream of buy a few 12 tb drives.
for now i find stuff and put price alerts on them. o have tried ebay but i dont always get what i pay for. like buying wlanlisting that says wd red plus cmr and getting a wd red (non plus) smr.
i fantasize about the cool rack setup i could build. right now everything, jellyfin stack, home assistant, glance dashboard, pteradactyl, netbird , anf any vm i want to play with all on one proxmox mini pc. next comes books
sorry for the rant but maybe you can relate
because sometimes i need a vm (home assisstant has more features thsn home assisstant container), sometimes a container (i mostly use lxc).
its not really an extra lauer because proxmox is an os.you use nixos i use proxmox. everything is out of the box. proxmox has comminntiu scripts to run everything and set them up. there is an i stall script for about everything community-scripts.org
sure podman has similar setup but i also need vms and they are all mamaged in one place
EDIT: you can read the script, its text
