I run my containers in an LCX on Proxmox (yes I heard I should use a VM, but it works…)

For data storage (syncthing, jellyfin …) I make volumes in the LXC. But I was wondering if this is the best way?

I started thinking about restoring backups. The docker backups can get quite large with all the user data. I was wondering if a separate “NAS” VM and NFS shares makes more sense. Then restoring/cloning docker lxc would be faster, for troubleshooting. And the user data I could restore separately.

What do you guys do?

      Interesting! I felt S3 was more a business cloud storage api.

      I did a quick search, and it seems neither syncthing or jellyfin is compatible with S3. What do you do in these cases?

          Huh. I recently set up local dovecot for archiving old emails, but not S3.

          I’m curious, when you work on a document, how does that work; Is it a file on your hard drive, have you mounted a bucket somehow, do you sync using restful api somehow?
