Looking for advice on how to move my current odd collection of services hosted across multiple raspberry pi 4's (4gb) and and old Macbook Air (4gb) over to a new Proxmox server I have on the way. It's a Supermicro 5019D-FTN4 with 64gb, 4x1TB SSD, 1tb nvme.

I'm thinking of setting up the SSD's in a RAID10 config with ZFS (striped mirror) The nvme drive would be setup as an lvm volume, a portion (perhaps 50gb) for the Proxmox install and the rest for ?.

I also have a Synology DS918+ which is a plex server that I also use for backup, so I'll probably create volume and mount it via NFS or iSCSI to the Proxmox server, use that for VM backup or other general storage.

Still pondering where the best place is to store ISOs and templates; the VM's will end up on the ZFS volume. (at least that's my current thinking)
