Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

It mostly depends on your comfort level. Generally it is frowned on. I have a proxmox cluster with two dedicated machines. One for truenas and one for unRAID.
They both get basically the entire resources from the physical servers and have dedicated hbas. I haven't run into any performance issues, and actually prefer running it this way because if the nas vm dies for some reason I can still log into the hypervisor to fix it.
That said, I don't think I'd ever use virtual disks in a nas and I also wouldnt run vms off of the storage in the nas vm. At least not for the same cluster. I also make sure to have backups in case anything bad does happen
