Proxmox running TrueNAS and NextCloud or Nextcloud on TrueNAS via Docker? (self.selfhosted)

As the title states, how would you set it up? I've got an HP EliteDesk G5, what are the strengths and weaknesses of either:

  • ProxMox with one VM running TrueNAS and another VM running Nextcloud
  • TrueNAS on bare metal with Nextcloud running in docker
  • Some other setup

I'd like to be able to easily expand and backup the storage available to Nextcloud as needed and I'd also like the ability to add additional VMs/containers/services as needed

But then if you don't understand how it works, how do you make off-site backups?

How do you extract data if one day you want to use another os?

What if you want to backup the database?

That’s the beauty of it, when you install the images you select where the storage is on your drives. All you have to do is backup your array and you’ll have backups of the apps too!

it doesn't seem to have a way to have shell access to the container, what if nextcloud breaks and need to type the php occ commands

Really? I swear I’ve done it.

Even without shell access, you can run the container and send the entry command. Or run a separate container locally with the data mounted.

i tried to see, i did not find a way to get shell access

but i'm not a truenas guru, not at all, i have like 1 week of experience and this k8s stuff with no docker support shocked me. Seems like docker has been removed in the latest release that got published one week ago

Oh! Okay, once the app is running, you can click the little “3 dot menu” in the top right hand corner and the fourth option down is shell
