Woud I get good performance on MacOS VM (hackintosh) running with TrueNAS Scale VM?

[mojestic]

Specs: i9-9900k - 48GB Ram - RX480 8GB || 500GB SSD - 240GB NVMe - 6TB (+3x1TB) HDD

Now, I have this build with MacOS for work and Windows 10 as a Plex server.

I'm looking for a solution to have a NAS running 24/7 (with plex server), and use the build as a worskstation when im home (MacOS) with access to the NAS drive through Proxmox (somehow!!). Later, I wanna find a way to access the NAS remotly (Tailscale VPN or NextCloud).


- Is this doable? and how much performance would I lose in MacOS.
- Can TrueNAS plex server use iGPU quicksync for transcoding, and have the dedicated GPU working for MacOS.
- Is there a simplier, easier way to do all this?

I wound't run plex in a jail in a TrueNAS VM. I would just run plex as a LXC or even in its own VM accessing your media through NFS/SMB.
If you want to use the iGPU in a VM (TrueNAS or dedicated plex VM) you will need to PCI passthrough it. If that will works really depends on your hardware.

And TrueNAS needs alot of RAM. You might need to sacrifice something like 8GB RAM for it. And CPU utilization can be quite heavy too, especially when using zstd compression.
