I have a somewhat dated (but decently specd) NUC running Proxmox, and it’s the backbone of my home lab. No issues to date.

Lot of trolls lately

I was using a WD PR4100, but I upgraded to a Synology RS1221+ and it’s been fantastic :)

I have a beefed up Intel NUC running Proxmox (and my self hosted services within those VMs) and a stand alone NAS that I mount on the necessary VMs via fstab.

I really like this approach, as it decouples my storage and compute servers.

4 currently with 8GB RAM and no pass through for transcoding (only direct play)

The one piece is reeeeaaaaal.
