I’m new to this, and having a lot of fun.

I started with the Blackview MP80 running Ubuntu(Minecraft server on docker and Home Assistant in a VM)

Then I bought the BMAX for 82€ and moved HA on to it so I can wipe the MP80 and play around with Proxmox and Nextcloud erc without breaking my home automations.

Yesterday I got the Hardkernel H4+ with 16gb ram and 2x 6TB 2nd hand commercial grade HDD’s (testing them now, 3 month guarantee)

Looking forward to setting up ZFS pools for the first time, ans probably move my Nextcloud AIO over to the TrueNAS app

    I love my janky temporarily solution.

    I made a stand of old ikea plastic parts I had laying around, screwed them together and have both drives supported from both sides and connected together.

    If I directly bump the drive hard enough they’d fall, but I’m pretty confident I can shake the table really hard and they’ll be fine.

    I’m hoping to get a 3D printer to make a more permanent solution

      Thanks for the feedback! I am doing the opposite right now funnily enough. Trying to move away from having everything on Truenas as an app because of the host-app communication limitations. I have a bridge network set up but it still has its issues.

      I’ll need to get some hardware to make this happen. At least to have a PCIe SATA controller I can pass through to a TrueNas VM so I can have everything on one physical host.

      Nextcloud is on the list to try. For now syncthing was fixed up for filesync from my shoddy implementation of it yeras ago.

        I have recently moved adguard and home assistant to raspberry pi, same reason, though the hass I have moved into docker container with host network in the end. I also installed tailscale directly to have easy setup as an exit node.

        Nice good luck!! I think I’m going to keep NextcloudAIO as is, not having everything in one place feels better and safer.

        lol I won’t those HDD’s are like my babies, I’m very careful with them, that temporary stand while not foolproof is solid, but I have no plans of testing it out now that the drives are in there
