Firstly, I do not have or buy Enterprise grade SSDs. It is just a homelab, with a Pihole DNS server, a Plex server for films, a Traefik reverse proxy, a database server for my hobby programming projects, an SMB server for all kind of shared data (docs, photos).
And I tinker around a lot with VMs and LXCs to learn other Linux distros, to learn kubernetes, etc etc.
When my server goes down, the only thing I do is changing a router setting to take over DNS resolving. The rest is not an issue, as long as my wife doesn't complain about the media server not being available
And oh, yes, it is also my playground for writing Ansible scripts. Almost everything on the server is configured using Ansible.
So... apart from some network services like Pihole, and file server, there's nothing really vital. It is for hobby and programming fun.
This is making me doubting again. If ZFS will make my SSDs wear out quicker... pff...
What would be an alternative to ZFS? Or just forget about it, because I do not have the proper quality SSDs... Then I keep on using Ext4, as I already do now.
