Comment on Proxmox: Running everything on xpenology-VM or have a dedicated VM instead?

The synology stuff is neat but I personally wouldn’t use it. There’s a lot of stuff that is abstracted away from you and when you run into a problem it’s not easy to resolve. Plus you’re already running things that can do more.

If you want something like it casaos would be worth a look. You just take a base install of Debian 12 and run their script on it. You’ll get the ease of use that synology has without it fighting you when you want to do something different.

Once you have that going it’s just as simple as getting next cloud going and anything else you want. Which is just one click in the webui. It can manage all the containers you have running on the Fedora vm too. So your reverse proxy, blocky, etc shouldn’t be a problem to run on there.

Unless you REALLY want the synology apps and stuff like that. If that’s the case they go with xpenoloy.

I would also not recommend running essentially a cracked server OS handling maybe your most important files.

If you insist to use some Synology application there is this solution:

hub.docker.com/r/vdsm/virtual-dsm

  I tried that… although I had some issues setting it up.
  
  What’s funny, I thought this would be the hacky solution, while xpenology being the real deal.

    They are both hacky, but the Docker image is only handling the tasks you want it too, not the whole system, so if it goes haywire it’s not as bad.

    you’re right… I’m already evaluating it now.

I’d really prefer to avoid NextCloud, since it was very slow, in comparison to Synology, on the same hardware.

But thx for the hint abaout casaos. Didn’t know about that. Will definitely have a look at it.

  I’ve found nextcloud to be slow too when dealing with 10s of GB or more of data. Anything less that seems to be fine. I don’t use it myself for that reason.
