don't play on ultra settings and you should be fine. 150ish on a 2080 seems right for ultra settings.

Hi, I am new to unraid and can't figure out how to install Mayan EDMS to a unraid docker container that gets access to a share. I am trying to compare mayan edms to paperless project but I can't seem to figure out how to set it up. I tried following this tutorial but I am not sure how to setup a new container that is not apart of a template on unraid. https://docs.mayan-edms.com/chapters/docker/install_docker_compose.html#docker-compose-install any help is greatly appreciated. Sorry if this is a "noob" question but I am kinda stumped

This is my first time setting up a home server and I have a few questions on how exactly I should set it up. I have 2 1tb raid one ssds meant to store the vm os's and have have 4x4tb hdds mean to store all of my files. I want to setup a samba file server but not sure the best way to go about it, I have a few docker containers and applications I want to access this file share such as plex, mayan edms and a few others so how should I set it up to allow it to access the same files. Should i install samba on the root proxmox instance? or should i put it all into a vm and do it from there.

So when i make my zfs pools I can store both vms and isos on the same pool?

So i am getting ready to deploy my first home server and I am planning on using proxmox and I have been watching a lot of tutorials on it. Here is what i have for storage 1 120gb SSD for Proxmox Boot 2 1tb nvme ssds in raid 1 for vms 4 4tb hdds for nas storage in raid 10 From what I can tell you need a seperate drive to upload ISO's too for vms but is there a way for me to have a seperate partition or something on my 2 1tb raid 1 ssds for uploading isos? or what is my best option.

I am not using freenas anymore and ryzen and my motherboard supports iommu so gpu passthrough is something I can do for my plex vm. AMD is probably not the best choice for a server (unless your going epyc) But ryzen does support a lot of the same virtulization tech that intel does. a better option would be used server parts. But from what i can tell AMD can work and does work for what I am planning to do with it.

I am pretty sure I am forgoing freenas but I also will have a 970 gpu in the system for hardware acceleration. And i don't see the plex server getting hit with more than 2 people. and we only have 1 4k display in the house so I don't see much of a problem with that. And if the 970 isnt enough I have a 1070 i could pull out of a machine. Plus the plex server isnt going to get that much use as it is more build for a nas over a plex media server.

Also what would be the best auto backup software for windows/ubuntu similar to windows file history. (windows for my parents, ubuntu for me)

Thanks for the info, When you say proxmox can create network shares. How recommended is that. Right not i have 4 x4tb drives in a raid 10 for 8tb of usable storage which I want 100% of that to be dedicated to a nas. And as of right now I want plex and auto cloud backups to it. Which would be a better way to do it. Make a proxmox network share or pass the harddrives into a vm and manage them that way? I assume the vm route means I could have all the samba. plex, and backups in one vm. But from what I have read passing vdisks into vms is not as performant. I don't care about getting 100% performance as I only have a 1gigbit network and I probably wont even max out the drives ever but how much of a performance hit does that stuff take (if any). (I also have 2 1tb ssds which will be used for other vms)

Thanks, What i am thinking of doing is just ditching freenas and running everything within proxmox and figuring out how to setup all of the things I need on their own. The reason why I was attached to freenas because it makes it really easy to add plex and encrypted cloud backups. (basically one click). In a perfect world i would have a hypervisor server and a nas server but I don't have the budget for 2 servers so I wanted to combine them.

idk bored and curious.

As said earlier in the thread because of IOMMU groupings it might not be possible to pass the drives into multiple vms. unless a container doesn't count not entirely sure

I was rewatching some of linuses old server content and I couldn't help but notice these 2 people look really freaking similar Brett kelly (2:30) and this guy (around 14:00 is a good timestamp) Bit taller and bigger build but I thought these people were the same for a sec.

So what I think I am going to do is run proxmox (maybe esxi but I am leaning towards proxmox) and pass an entire hba card into a freenas vm and then use my 2 m.2 1tb drives in a xfs raid 1 for all of my other vms. Not sure your familiarity with proxmox but I think the same would go for esxi I have the 2 tb ssds that Ima put in a raid 1 would I install proxmox on those ssds or should I install it onto another ssd or usb stick?

Well i'll hope for the best. I saw a video on craft computing that allowed him to pass through the individual drives from the hba card instead of the actual hba card. Is this still using IOMMU or is it something else? How do you know if a board does IOMMU or IOMMU groupings. this is my board https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/PRIME_X570-P/E15829_PRIME_PRO_TUF_GAMING_X570_Series_BIOS_EM_WEB.pdf

Well i only plan to passthrough the hba card into freenas and nothing else.

Ya I looked for that, Just now found it actually and it does support it, so it looks like i can pass my entire hba into freenas (assuming I still do freenas)

So i just bought a HBA card (https://www.amazon.com/SAS9211-8I-8PORT-Int-Sata-Pcie/dp/B002RL8I7M/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=SAS9211&qid=1577977693&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=craftcomputin-20&linkId=ef0870a4aafb2f7b0e72e5765f068e62&language=en_US) But I am not 100% sure that my mobo supports the pcie pass through. I know the ryzen cpu does but I guess it's a gamble on if it is going to work. I have 2 other drives (m.2) which I am going to run in a raid 1 for all of my vms.

What would the difficulty of adding things like plex and encrypted backup? Freenas makes it really easy to set that stuff up how would I go about doing that with proxmox and containers?

From what i've read and heard sending virtual drives to freenas kills preformance. In an ideal world I would have 2 servers and Just have freenas run on one of them and a hypervisor on another but I don't really have a budget for that.

I am still a bit confused about HBA and RAID cards and the differences between them. If I had the budget I would def have 2 seperate servers one for nas and one for hypervisor. But I am still a bit concerned about pass through compatibility and how do I check if hardware is compatible for passthrough. I got the Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS are the sata ports on these capable of passthrough or would I need a hba card/raid card. If so could you link me to some cards that would work for this.

If i wanted a raid card how would that work? just curious

Thanks so much, You have no idea how good it feels to be right for once. Been specing out my server for days now and everyone is telling my different ways to do stuff. Just glad i'm on the right track.

I've seen this done with HBA's and Raid cards but can you do this with the sata ports on the motherboard? I am using a ASUS AM4 TUF GAMING X570-Plus with a ryzen 2600 I want to pass in the hardrives to use with freenas and I want to make sure it's possible. https://www.newegg.com/asus-tuf-gaming-x570-plus/p/N82E16813119198?Item=N82E16813119198&nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-COM&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASID=https%3a%2f%2fpcpartpicker.com%2fproduct%2fwhMTwP%2fasus-tuf-gaming-x570-plus-atx-am4-motherboard-tuf-gaming-x570-plus&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-rEk1CVIwod3ELFpHG4_zSg
