Poxmox+ZFS+NAS + other things... Help plz

[jt_lost]

I built a tower using an AMD 5600 with PVE installed onto an m.2 with 32gb of ram
Then 6 other storage drives that i had proxmox create a ZFS pool with.

Goal is to have the following things:
NAS (so Jellyfin and my windows machines can both access)
Jellyfin media server
Linux VM to host game servers for friends and family.

I was first attempting to make a container in proxmox on the same m.2 then add in the 6 drive zfs pool to that container for OMV to then use for the NAS.

Then i would want to have jellyfin use that storage as its media base.

Then be able to add to that storage via the NAS from my windows machine.


Am i just daft (probably, as totally new to this all) But i could not get OMV inside the container to see the ZFS pool. I setup the container as privlaged and then mounted the ZFS pool ( which i called Storage) to the container. But still no dice.


I would love some assistacet in if i need to make changes to the setup or in just how to get this all to work.

Again i have not done much with linux and just trying to learn this all as i go.

To mount a zfs volume in a container, see the docs. Your path will be </name_of_zpool> instead of /mnt/bindmounts/shared

But what I think you really want to do is look at this thread. You can setup a SMB share so that jellyfin and windows (which you can't mount zfs on) can both access it, no need to set up a NAS

PS: I don't know what privileges you need on your container, but it is recommended to leave it as unprivileged when possible

The windows machine will not be a VM it will just be on the network.

Will the SMB share be able to be accessed like a NAS then?

Sorry again new to all this just trying to learn as i go.

no worries

Yes, it the SMB share will be available on the network, see wikipedia for infos on SMB

It's a link in the thread I sent above, but if you missed it, this tutorial shows you how to set up the share

Best of luck

Excellent,

One last request would you know of a decent guide / way to also create a section on the ZFS pool to open it for a friends remote off site backup of his data?

Connect your LANs through a VPN tunnel and then use "local" SMB/NFS?
