Same here, got a TrueNAS running for storage with no services, and a Proxmox box next to it that uses the NAS for storage. Solid setup.

What made you less confident in TrueNAS? I’ve been running it for a few years now, not 1 hiccup in all that time.

I meant less confident like I am not confident enough to run it properly. Setting it up with zero experience with how it works or how ZFS works was quite intimidating for me.

How do you share the storage with Proxmox? NFS or SMB/CIFS? Do you access stored data only through Proxmox or do you also connect to Truenas directly?

  For me it’s all NFS. I have storage mounted on proxmox for VMs, ISOs, backups, … I use full VMs instead of LXC, so I have direct mounts of the shares inside the VMs if they need it.

    OK, good.
    
    Do you see any reason not to use SMB in my case or is it just NFS ‘cause it’s propper linux thing?

    Do you have devices running windows? What is your reason for wanting SMB?

  But you got through it, and ZFS isn’t a walk in the park for most. I think you’re selling yourself short.
  
  As someone else mentioned, leaving truenas on the asustor and using a container orchestrator or a hypervisor on the Xeon machine sounds like a good plan to me.

    Thank you. I’ll see how my free time will look and how far and how fast I’ll progress.
