Recommendations on Changes to Homelab (lemmy.one)

I currently run a Lenovo minipc and an rpi4 to host all of my homelab services, and I just purchased a new minipc with an 11th Gen i5 in order to better handle Plex and transcoding. I would also like to add Immich to my homelab. Here is a breakdown of my current state:

Lenovo Mini PC running Proxmox: Home Assistant OS VM Ubuntu VM running:

Frigate
Pi-hole
Plex
Arr Stack
Transmission
Has two ext HDs in a mergerfs configuration to host all media and onsite homelab backups.

RPi4:

Wireguard VPN
Pi-hole

I am going to install Proxmox on the new minipc, and setup both in a cluster. I would like to move Plex, Arrs, Transmission, and Immich to the new mini PC. Because of that I am thinking the external drives should be connected directly to the new minipc to maximize performance. I would also like to have the ability to share the external drives to any nodes in the cluster.

Do you have any recommendations on how to best setup these drives? Should I setup a TrueNAS VM on the new minipc and share to all others via NFS? Any other tips for my setup?

Well it’s a Debian based Distro, so you could install NFS. What I do is I have OMV running in a vm and use that to serve up my smb and NFS shares
