I have a decent 2 bay synology, but want to put all my docker images/ VMs running on a more powerful machine connected to the same LAN. Does it ever make sense to do the for media serving or will involving an extra device add too much complexity vs just serving from the NAS itself. I was hoping to have calibre/home assistant/tube type services, etc. all running off a mini PC with a Ryzen 7 and 64gb ram vs the NAS.
My Linux knowledge is intermediate; my networking knowledge is begintermediate, and I can generally follow documentation okay even if it’s a bit above my skill level.
Commenting just to add “nofail” to the fstab.
I didn’t do this in Proxmox and then the drive stopped working and so did Proxmox. As a noob I ended up starting fresh and losing lots.
After adding nofail the services start up, just without the NAS attached. Without nofail it just doesn’t boot.
Nofail for the win
If its the only bit its doing or its critical for other services, yes, nofail is a good choice.
