Hi everyone,
I am still totally new to Linux and Proxmox.
My internal infrastructure is relatively fragmented and I want to centralize everything on a small mini PC based Proxmox server on the hardware side. I am enthusiastic about the very resource-efficient architecture with LXC containers.
The Proxmox is currently running:
1. LXC Adguard Home
2. LXC Emby Media Server
3. home assistant VM (unfortunately I have not yet succeeded in getting HS Supervisor to run on an LXC container, but that's another story ...)
The Proxmox is currently only running a 128 GB SSD that was integrated by Proxmox by default.
I have also managed to connect my Windows-based backup server as a network drive via Samba/CIFS. This is where I currently make backups of the LXC and VMs.
Now to my question:
Currently, my USB 3.0 media disk is running on an NVIDIA Shield/ which I make available here as a network drive on the network. I switch the disk on and off as required via a smart socket. I used to have it running on a Fritzbox, but the bandwidth on the FB is notoriously lame. Here you can activate the IDle mode on the FB, which has worked so far. I realize that in the Linux world you can't just switch disks on and off. You have to mute ....
The Proxmox is currently running:
1. LXC Adguard Home
2. LXC Emby Media Server
3. home assistant VM (unfortunately I have not yet succeeded in switching HS Supervisor to a home assistant VM)
I would now like to do the same on the Proxmox server, but the disk should remain NTFS (the 5 TB of data).
1. how do I mount the disk in Proxmox?
2. how do I make the disk available in the network as Samba (CIFS)?
3. how do I set the IDLe mode so that the hard disk goes into standby after 5 minutes?
I have not found anything on the interface and have not found any really good instructions.
I should say that a installation of Open media Vault as LXC totally failed. I mounted a HD in Proxmox but I could not use them as a HD in Open Media Vault. No matter what I did.
I look forward to your feedback!
Many thanks and best regards from JuRo
