Proxmox running TrueNAS and NextCloud or Nextcloud on TrueNAS via Docker? (lemmy.world)

As the title states, how would you set it up? I've got an HP EliteDesk G5, what are the strengths and weaknesses of either:

ProxMox with one VM running TrueNAS and another VM running Nextcloud
TrueNAS on bare metal with Nextcloud running in docker
Some other setup

I'd like to be able to easily expand and backup the storage available to Nextcloud as needed and I'd also like the ability to add additional VMs/containers/services as needed

Would you use something other than TrueNAS, then?

I use Xigmanas, which is kind of the forgotten grandfather of TrueNas due to a fork/renaming years ago. I like that it's more designed as a embedded image image, so it feels more clean and purpose built.

For the VMs I go with XCP-ng, It's been a long time to recall exactly why I switched away from Proxmox but it had to do with the way that resources got shared by the VMs and the host where I wanted them to have a more distinct split.

They all have their +/- and eventually if it gets taken far enough as a hobby you'll end up finding little adjustments to make that are specific to your needs and setup that make sense only to you.
