Need help for server

[LordPen]

Hello everyone, first of all, I have 0 knowledge in linux/proxmox/openmediavault/docker, but I do have ok knowledge of windows device.
So, I have a desktop (intel i5 8400, 24gb of ram, 512gb ssd and 2x18tb hdd) on which I want to do 3 things :
- NAS (and DAS to my main computer via ethernet cable)
- Torrent download and seeding (and web browser to download)
- Run a media playback service (Plex, Jellyfin, etc)

I want my 2 hdd to be in raid and I wish for my NAS, SeedBox and media player to access the same drives on the computer.

I have heard of people runing OpenMediaVault with docker container and other that run them on 3 separate VM with Proxmox.

Which one of the 2 options would you suggest, or if you have a third one, and could you refer to some guides (or make one) for me to make the server.

I appreciate you time.

Since it's not clear from your post. You no longer use this computer and would like to install it with Proxmox and use it as a hypervisor?

Sorry about that, It is a pc that my university was getting rid of, I added 8gb of ram and added the storage. I also dont know what a hypervisor.

I also dont know what a hypervisor.

Wikipedia might help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor. Proxmox VE is a hypervisor, intended for enterprises that want to run VMs.

PVE is an hypervisor.

However, you can only include a maximum of one ZFS mirror, so only around 18 TB and not 36 TB can be used.

Container virtualization in a virtual machine is basically possible, but I wouldn't do it here if I were you. RAM and CPU don't seem to be a limit here. You can also start the stuff directly in the LXC container on PVE.

Were the two sentences above the options mentioned? I didn't understand it as such.

But if that's it and you take the first one and want to do without PVE, then you've come to the wrong forum - this is about the products related to Proxmox.
