New home server: what hypervisor/OS? (lemmy.world)

I have a couple of home server, both with Proxmox as hypervisor, one VM with Ubuntu 22.04 that does just Docker containers, one with Open Media Vault, one with Home Assistant (HA OS) and a couple of Windows VM to do some tests. Since I wanted to move from OMV, right now I see 2 options:

stay with Proxmox and find another NAS OS
use Unraid as NAS and hypervisor

What other option would you suggest?

You would need a separate controller.

Ouch...got it. Thanks

The LSI 9210 8i - IT mode is a great option and can be had for under $50.

On eBay they all seems to be coming from China at about 30$ with cables (although they are the 8087 and not 8086), could they be clone? In Europe (where I live) they costs about 60€.

Does it works with SATA drives and, most important: can it provides the single drives to the OS without RAID (since I would want to use a software RADI like RIADz)?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, so the IT mode flash makes it just a JBOD controller, which is what truenas wants. It works with SAS and SATA. You'd need SFF-8086 to SATA cables. (One cable per 4 drives)

Interesting, I'll have a look on how to flash the IT mode. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's very easy to find them with IT mode already flashed so it's plug-and-play.

Cool! What's your feeling about SnapRaid and MergerFS instead of RAIDz?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If you're using TrueNAS, use RAIDz. Doing anything else negates all the benefits of TrueNAS.

Got it, thanks!
