Hi folks,

I'm really new to proxmox and self-hosting but I want to go further along this path because of the freedom and excitement it gives to be able to do whatever you want to.
I've landed on a mini-pc(NUC-like) with 1 M.2 NVME SSD (4TB) and 1 2.5" SATA SSD (4TB with 32GB RAM, it has a i3-1220P CPU. Form factor was the main focus due to space constraint in my current apartment, it needs to fit on my desk somehow and I already have a desktop pc.

My immediate goals are to set up SMB + Jellyfin + a VPN into my home network on this machine and I am posting here in the hopes that you guys have any suggestions, advice, or guides.

After looking around I came across a suggestion to set up the disks in ZFS raid 0 and then create a data set for media/bulk storage, I haven't been able to figure out how that would work yet, or even if that really is the easiest/most maintainable option.
Would there be an issue with just setting a VM to run the SMB share with the the allotted size I want to use for media/bulk storage? Is there a better way?
I am thinking that any other service that needs access to this storage would simply connect to the SMB VM. SMB because then I can also connect with my regular PC if I need to.

I am open to redo the whole install btw.
