I have a MiniPC running Proxmox as the host OS. Within Proxmox, I have a Docker-dedicated Debian LXC that’s running docker + portainer.

I have a single 16TB drive that I want to be able to expose it:

  • over the network like a NAS via Samba / NFS
  • to other Proxmox VMs and LXCs
  • to Docker containers within my Docker LXC (*arrs, plex, photo sharing, nextcloud, other stuff)

In the future, I’d like to add a second drive and have some kind of redundancy or backup between the two of them.

What’s the best way to do this?

To expose over network, do I expose the drive from the host as a bind mount into an LXC and do one of:

And once I do get it exposed over the network, is it better to have my other Docker containers/LXCs access the drive through the NAS, or through another bind mount from the host?

Any tips would be appreciated!

    You could run truenas with the one drive in vm in proxmox and then add it in proxmox as storage, and mount in lxcs. I did that and it works for my small media drive.
