Hello there,
I'm looking for a general advice about setting up Proxmox VE with some backup strategy.
I would like to do it all on my previous desktop pc which has an i5 4690 with 16gb ram. Additionally I've bought an LSI 9212-4i (IT) which is plugged in into the PCIe x16 slot to have more than 2 SATA 6GB/s Ports overall.
My drives are
- 2x SSD (1x 256gb and 1x 128gb)
- 4x HDD (IronWolf + WD RED PLUS) 2 TB each
Proxmox VE on the two SSDs as ZFS Mirror.
^(I know that this may not be optimal as the one drive is slightly bigger than the second.)
Now I have a dilemma as I don't know what should I do with my 4 HDDs.
Should I maybe set up a ZFS raidz1 for my VMs/LXCs and leave one drive for my PBS and get me some additional storage with Hetzner's Storage Box and backup my files there with tools like rclone?
Or maybe should I create 2 separate pools (ZFS Mirror) for my VMs/LXCs and PBS and then use the Hetzner's Storage Box and backup my things there?
PBS and VE would be on the same host atm.
I know that it depends all on my needs and my main need is k8s (k3s) with Nextcloud, Bitwarden, Home Assistant and some self hosted/developed applications.
Any advices appreciated, thanks in advance!
