Hello,
I'm considering installing Proxmox on a NAS with an i5-1235U processor. This is a 10 core, 12 thread 12th gen Alder Lake laptop processor, with 2 performance and 8 efficiency cores. I have 96 GB of RAM to throw at at it.
I'm curious if anyone out there has worked with this setup and had any issues. I've been running TrueNAS on it bare metal with no problems, but the cores spend most of their time idle, but if I'm going to do virtualization on it, I'd rather use Proxmox.
I'm considering virtualizing things like a NUT server, PBS, an ad-blocker, etc. Infrastructure services for my small office that I'd want to stay as solid as possible. The NAS should rarely if ever get rebooted. But making sure TrueNAS runs as rock-solid as possible and has sufficient vCores and RAM to serve files on a 10 GbE network is critical.
On the other hand, I'm really not sure how many vCores/how much RAM TrueNAS would need to be happy. It's got 8x14 TB 7200 RPM enterprise SATA drives in a 4x ZFS mirror, and a 2x 4TB NVME drives in a mirror for fast storage.
I'd be passing through the SATA controller, both 4TB NVME, and a dedicated 10 GbE NIC.
Any suggestions on the number of vCores or other caveats?
