  2)There’s nothing you can’t “undo”. I think you’re overthinking this.

  Adding to this: Deploying via Docker (or podman or k8s or…) and/or installing every host via Ansible makes this even easier.

  Thanks for the feedback!

  1. I may not have labeled that accurately, I just plan to use Tailscale to access these services from specific authorized devices.
  2. I meant “before I do something that is a pain to correct”. Like starting with the wrong OS or file system format.
  3. My plan is to build a media server which will include 4k media, so I think my storage may need to grow over time… maybe TrueNAS is something I can add later if needed?
  4. I guess the reason I was thinking of 2 separate machines is that I’ve heard using an OPi as a media server or NextCloud server will go really slow and potentially cause other issues. Plus I already have an old computer doing nothing right now, just needs new SSDs.

    Okay well:

    1. understandable
    2. stop worrying so much, it can always be fixed
    3. like I said, if you need the actual space, then make that plan
    4. you can host anything on anything. If it’s not moving as fast as you want it, THEN think about switching to something else
