Software/config advice (containers, NAS etc) (self.selfhosted)

Hi. I'm a bit of a selfhosting novice, but currently have a Dell Wyse hosting a few docker containers (plus Portainer) including a Minecraft server, torrents, Nextcloud. and others) on an Arch Linux system. I also have a Gnubee NAS (running an old version of OMV) which is mounted on the Dell as well as on a couple of (music server) Pi's.

The NAS is really slow and limited, so I'm looking to migrate everything currently on there and on the Dell onto am unused NUC (with a 250GB and 1TB drive). Not bothered about keeping NAS/server on separate devices.

What is the best way for me to set this up? OMV + docker? Proxmox? I'm not up on lxc containers, pools, etc, but will go that way if that's where the advice leads. Also quite apprehensive about migrating things, especially Nextcloud, so any pointers there would be really appreciated!

Thanks

I've heard things about TrusNAS scale, which is Debian based and should be good for running containers and/or VMs. Proxmox is a good choice for VMs, but I don't know that I'd use it for a NAS unless I'm doing controller passthrough to a VM. Proxmox does have built-in support for Gluster and ZFS, but I have never used those features (and Gluster is generally more intended for spreading a NAS across multiple servers).

I wrote a good bit on NAS options I've used in this comment on a post from a few days ago.

Best of luck in your migration/upgrade whatever option you go with.

I did something similar when I moved from my Synology NAS to a Dell Micro PC. I choose open media vault which is built on Debian. It works much faster that the NAS

Did you use the OMV Docker add on for your containers? How are your drives and shares set up?

I installed docker using the Debian instructions as I manage from the command line. I have one system drive and one data drive. The data drive is setup as a share with all of my media. The main use case for me is Plex and the *arr services. I have an offsite backup of my media. Hope this helps
