I have a couple of home server, both with Proxmox as hypervisor, one VM with Ubuntu 22.04 that does just Docker containers, one with Open Media Vault, one with Home Assistant (HA OS) and a couple of Windows VM to do some tests. Since I wanted to move from OMV, right now I see 2 options:
- stay with Proxmox and find another NAS OS
- use Unraid as NAS and hypervisor
What other option would you suggest?

I’ve been using unraid for a few years. Super happy with it. Recently migrated from using their normal array to zfs since I got a hold of some enterprise SAS drives.

Been using unraid for a couple of years now and really enjoying it.
Previously I was using esxi and OMV, but I like how complete Unraid feels as a solution in itself.
I like how Unraid has integrated support for spinning up VMs and docker containers, with UI integration for those things.
I also like how Unraid’s fuse filesystem lets me build an array from disks of mismatched capacities, and arbitrarily expand it. I’m running two servers so I can mirror data for backup, and it was much more cost effective that I could keep some of the disks I already had rather than buy all-new.

Fuse file system? I’ve never heard about it. Is it a proper file system or does it work on ZFS/others?

What RAIDz are you using? How are you feeling it?

raidz1. No issues so far. I’ve had some prior experience with zfs from work, so moving to it was a no brainer.
