Hello, I’m seeking advice.

I need help with a new setup. Currently, I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with OpenMediaVault (installed on microSD) + Portainer + Docker running from a USB HDD, but I’m not satisfied with this configuration - it looks messy and is a bit slow.

I’m considering buying an Odroid H4+ with 2 or 3 SSD disks to run NAS + Nextcloud (and possibly Home Assistant) on that server. What would be the best option for me? I like how TrueNAS operates, but it seems a bit too powerful for my needs. Should I:

  • Use TrueNAS Scale with Nextcloud and Home Assistant as apps on TrueNAS?
  • Use Proxmox with multiple VMs (NAS, Nextcloud, Home Assistant, …)?
  • Use OpenMediaVault with the KVM plugin and run Nextcloud within OpenMediaVault?
  • Or consider something completely different?

I would like to have the OS on a small disk and every other service on a second large disk (or in RAID1).
