Best file partition setup for Proxmox with separate drives for security camera recording?

Submitted ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works⁩ to ⁨selfhosted@lemmy.world⁩

I have a small ITX pc with a 256gb ssd and two nvr drives for recording my security cameras. I have a google coral installed to run frigate. I’m doing a fresh installation and I’m not sure what the best partition setup is. I’d like to have all of my vm’s and containers on the ssd and mirror the two separate drives just for video recording. I’ll run backups of my vm’s, containers, and configs elsewhere in case the ssd fails.

Is zfs required for security footage?

  No, but the drives are constantly being written to, so I’d rather have two in case one fails.

Install proxmox on the SSD and then create a ZFS pool for the two additional disks.

The frigate lxc container you could install directly on the zfs pool of the dedicated video surveillance disks, the container would also contain the recordings

  Ah I see with Frigate that makes sense. I’ll just have to backup the config since I don’t want to backup TB’s of footage.

    I have frigate installed on my SSD with records storing in my HDD ZFS pool which works just fine. I just have the storage pool set as a mount point for the frigate LXC.
