Comment on Homelab upgrade - "Modern" alternatives to NFS, SSHFS?

What are you hosting the storage on? Are you providing this storage to apps, containers, VMs, proxmox, your desktop/laptop/phone?

Currently, most of the data in on a bare-metal TrueNAS.
Since the nodes will come with each 32TB of storage, this would be plenty for the foreseeable future (currently only using 20TB across everything).
The data should be available to Proxmox VMs (for their disk images) and selfhosted apps (mainly Nextcloud and Arr apps).
A bonus would be to have a quick/easy way to “mount” some volume to a Linux Desktop to do some file management.

Proxmox supports ceph natively, and you can mount it from a workstation too, I think. I assume it operates in a shared mode, unlike iscsi.
If the apps are running on a VM in proxmox, then the underlying storage doesn’t matter to them.
NFS is probably the most mature option, but I don’t know if proxmox officially supports it.

Proxmox does support NFS

But let’s say that I would like to decommission my TrueNAS and thus having the storage exclusively on the 3-node server, how would I interlay Proxmox+Storage?
(Much appreciated btw)

I think the best option for distributed storage is ceph.
