Lightweight NFS share solution as a VM/CT in Proxmox/Host to share a Host disk

[logui]

I have a Proxmox cluster with 3 nodes, I would like one of the nodes to provide the service of an NFS share, it could be a VM or a CT, the disk for the NFS share will be a disk on the node/host, I don't know if using a directory within an existing disk in the node/host is viable for the NFS share? I have a large SSD, that ideally I would like to share across multiple services, not only dedicated to the NAS

I want a lightweight solution, I know I can install TrueNAS as a VM, but that seems overkill to me, knowing that I only need a simple NFS share, also, I know I can install NFS natively in Debian as well in the node/host, but, I want to keep the node/host configuration standard/clean across the cluster, all of them the same, therefore the need to have VM/CT to run all the specialized services on the nodes/host.

Any recommendation will be appreciated, thanks

Any Linux variant will do. You can find a specialized QCOQW/ISO which is much more lightweight than TrueNas, or just install NFS server on Alpine.

Good luck

How about using the Turnkey-fileserver PVE template to create an LXC. Details here.
