I’ve been selfhosting a while. I run around 15 distinct services in docker containers, all on a single machine with a medium sized disk. It’s a small form factor, and I recently had to add space, so I’ve attached an external USB storage device.
It feels clunky.
At what point does a performant SAN/NAS make sense more than local storage? When did you make the jump?
Went from TrueNAS to OpenMediaVault and we are quite happy atm. Very reliable, decent documentation, easy to use. We were between this and Proxmox when we switched but ultimately chose OMV for its ease. It’s been at least a year and with ~100 containers running and some friends asking for VMs it would have been useful to be in proxmox, but not a biggie. However, be sure of your usecase and try imagining future needs just to be prepared and avoid more migrations ;)
