Move UnRaid from metal to Proxmox - Lemmy
I have a trusty UnRaid server that has been running great for almost 3 years
now, with some kinks and headaches here and there, but mostly very stable. Now
I’m entertaining the idea of setting that box up with ProxMox, and running
UnRaid virtualized. The reason being that I want to use UnRaid exclusively as a
NAS and then run all dockers and VMs on ProxMox (at least that’s how I’m
picturing it). I would like to know your opinion on this idea. All I have is
Nextcloud, Immich, Vaultwarden, Jellyfin, Calibre, Kavita and a Windows VM I use
to update some hardware every now and then. I mainly want to do that for the
backup capabilities in ProxMox for each instance. Storage is not a concern, and
I have 64GB of ECC Ram running in that box. What are the Pros and Cons, or is it
even worth it to move all this to ProxMox?
If you virtualize unraid, unraid wont have direct drive access - you can get around this by getting an HBA card and forwarding that to the unraid VM.
Others have mentioned that proxmox doesn’t have docker support, I personally run docker containers within lxc boxes on proxmox. There are solutions to make managing containers easier, like portainer, if you want to go down that route.
Run docker within lxc within proxmox. This gave me an aneurism. You’ve lost the whole point of not actually virtualizing with containers by putting in two layers deep in virtualization. At this point your shit is so convoluted why don’t you just run kubernetes
How is running a container in an LXC worse than in a VM? It’s not really, is it? No, not really. Kubernetes could also be built on top of the LXC as well, sure.
There are a number of genuine benifits from running docker on top of an LXC, and it doesn’t compromise security or come with a significant performance drop (unlike VMs).
