Add. Sonnar/raddar/jelly seer to ease media management for tv/movies.other than that looks good
I’d look into using the *arr applications for managing and moving your media downloads. Manually managing all your torrents and downloaded files gets tedious very fast. You’d also be able to hook up a Jellyseerr instance to these applications to make requesting content for your family a breeze :)
Do you plan on putting your Transmission VM behind a VPN? I don’t see this mentioned but this should be a top priority.
I have seen and read in other posts about these *arr applications, maybe I should look into it some more
I have never before used a VPN to download torrents, so I was not planning on starting that now really as I have had no issues whatsoever with the government or ISP, and here they first send you a warning and maybe then I was thinking about using a VPN. As far as I know VPN’s cost money and the whole reason I’m building this machine is to steer clear from ‘subscriptions’ and external servers so that I have everything in my own control and free of charge (or at least only hardware and energy payments)
Is there another reason for the need of VPN?
What the original comment probably meant, was to install a VPN to gain remote access from outside of your home network. For the sake of accessing your private services from anywhere. Not because you want to mask or hide your network traffic from your ISP.
If you want a VPN to access your home network from outside I would recommend Wireguard, the installation process is pretty simple with wg-quick.
That’s not how I read it, to me it looks like they’re asking if you plan to use a VPN to hide the traffic from your ISP.
Only disks hdd is not a great option.
Is important have a ssd to install os guest for more performance
But for storage is a best option
Possible change if you don’t need more features for virtualization, prefer install truenas scale on your host machine. Possible more performance. And if you need a basic virtualization you have a support on scale

HDDs are just fine dude. Obviously they’re less performant than an SSD, but for 95% of personal use cases they’re going to be completely adequate.
How did you add external folders to nextcloud? i cant get it to work (also on TrueNAS Scale)
I built it in a VM on my home PC to try it all out now
I made a truenas user ‘nextcloud’ with a password
Shared a folder over SMB and gave the user permission to it
Used the ‘external storage’ plugin in NextCloud to add the SMB share with the ‘nextcloud’ user and then gave the ‘family’ nextcloud group access to this folder
Where exactly are you getting stuck? Maybe I could give a more detailed explanation
One thing to note, as someone who did something similar, is that mounting the shares to Nextcloud, assuming you’re running the truecharts stuff, seems to work better via NFS rather than SMB. I never got it working with SMB, but NFS just worked like a charm, excluding the many hours getting the app to even deploy properly…
Hmm I’m sorry to hear that I have build the above setup (without proxmox) in a hyper-v vm on my own PC and I did get it working with SMB and it seems to be running pretty well
Maybe I’ll mount the share directly to the container and connect it through there aswell. I’m not too sure yet
