Hello everyone,
I would like to get started with selfhost with two projects.
Project A (for me): A NUC with Proxmox installed on it, two VMs including a Home Assistant and a NAS system that I haven’t chosen yet.
The only question I have with this project is:
- how to access the NAS and HA separately from the outside knowing that my access provider does not offer a static IP and that access to each VM must be differentiated from Proxmox.
Project B (for my uncle): A NUC (with Proxmox or not, I don’t know yet, perhaps simpler for making backups), with HA but especially Frigate. The goal is to use Google Coral to do recognition on 3 video surveillance cameras.
My questions are:
- is Coral really useful with 3 cameras?
- do you need a Coral in USB or M.2 version?
- are there affordable NUCs with free M.2 slots?
- won’t proxmox add a layer of complexity with Coral/Frigate/a Zigbee dongle?
Thank you in advance for your help and sorry if my post is long.
PS: if you have recommendations for cameras that work with Frigate and are self-powered with solar panels, I’ll take them!

HA has add-ons for duckns and nginx-proxy-manager which should solve your first question.
Yes if you want object detection
Can’t answer that one.
Yes, you’ll need to know how to pass through the devices to their respective VMs.

Oh right, so the NAS you can setup with the addon Samba NAS.
DuckDNS will mitigate your issues with not having a staic IP (alternatively theres any number of DynDNS programs you can look into if for example you already own your own domain name)
Nginx-Proxy-Manager allows you to forward ports based on the domain used to connect so, you might not even need it really but if you wanted for exmple to have an address like mysupercoolnas.duckdns,org rediect to one proxmox vm and mycoolassitant.duckdns.org to reditect to HA you could do that. Or you could just have one DynDNS setup and use port forwarding on your router to handle what ports direct to which VM.
