Is it possible to use the local storage as a NAS?

[RyansSohn]

Hello,
I have a little Mini PC running PVE. The node has 1 TB of storage, but not a lot of it is used. So my question is, if it is possible to use the rest of the PVE local storage as a NAS on the network?

Thanks for your help!

Sure, PVE is based on GNU/Linux. You can also install (Linux based) NAS software in a container and use the filesystem on local storage, like TurnKey File Server or TrueNAS Scale.

Did you manage to do this? Can you explain the steps you took to create the storage as NAS on the network?
