Hi,
I am currently switching to a new personal home server, using Proxmox VE, v7, with several VMs/CTs in the future.
Hardware: Barebone, 16GB RAM, and one 2TB SSD (and no other drives).
This is how the disk looks like:
Question:
What is the best practice to allocate ~ 1.5 TB of the SSD for data (i.e. recorded TV streams, pictures, videos, documents, backup files, etc.) and provide r/w access for Proxmox VMs/CTs?
I thought about manually adding a folder in Proxmox's root dir and share it accordingly by adding user(s) with according rights.
Alternatively, I thought about creating a second partition for this purpose.
Or I could add a new Debian Container, assign 512kB RAM and 1.5TB HD space for the only purpose to share data from a folder from there.
Or is this something that can be done through Proxmox's UI?
Thanks for any help and ideas. I hope my problem description is clear, please let me know if not or if any questions, thanks.
Ben
