Help assessing what's possible with Proxmox and Wordpress CT

[produKtnz]

Hi Team - wondering if I can chew someones ear a bit here


[i'm an] IT guy predominantly in Windows and associated tech stack 13 years - starting noodling round with linux and am interested in hypervisors etc.
Recently given a supermicro 1U superserver [called microtank] that I want to migrate my heavy WP in Ubuntu windows VM to a WP CT.

System setup is like this

m.2 SSD 512GB: Proxmox installed here
4x 512GB samsung evo 870's in r10

Got storage config sorted out via GUI. No commandline commands performed whatsoever (this is where i fallover)

(the questions) Can I...

1. Have WP CT install on m.2 SSD?
2. Mount fast10 mountpoint to WP CT
3. from within WP, have all site downloads on the fast10 array (600gb+) and served from there
4. access the fast10 storage from windows PC for file management on website storage volume?

I've been working on this since writing this and...

1. done
2. done. 960gb mountpoint created, noexec specified (some security. only rar's stored here)
3. no idea how, mointpoint id/something/something?
4. essential. SMB share?

Hi,
regarding 4, you could reuse your ssh connection to the server with something like FileZilla[0] or sshfs-win[1]. That way you don't have to setup an smb server, which can be quite a PITA on linux.

yeah 4. is the sticking issue. The downloads library is around 800gb with about 50k files, so a familiar environment is needed to tame this.
I'll try find a guide for configuring SMB share from proxmox - but on a finer point;

Total newb with proxmox <> SMB <> windows. In my mind I should be able to map a share to mp69/BMSlibrary - is that feasible?

By the way...your "fast10" will probably not be fast at writing when using ZFS with consumer SSDs without PLP like your Evos.
The NVMe with LVM is probably faster.

And while more ressource efficent because of less isolation of an LXC this also means less security.

no idea how, mointpoint id/something/something?

Hey - thanks for the insight.
The SSD array 'fast10' is setup as Raid10, not ZFS (equivalent is RaidZ?), anyway, being a web filehost home project, writing speeds are not important. The fast10 array will contain all downloads.
the m.2 SSD will host/store prox, WP CT and it's associated files. This volume is backed up to a NAS.
As it stands right now, I have a working and stable proxmox installation/setup and have a working WP container accessible from local only - intending on doing a migration rebuild ()db export from prev host, fil;e copy from prev host ETC) many MANY learning mistakes made in the past.
