I have some questions about selfhosting - Selfhosted - kbin.earth

Hello,...

I virtualized my nas for memes but honestly you don’t even need to do that. Just run proxmox and use zfs then build whatever lxc/VMS you want on top of it
Is that viable? I read that doing it with proxmox can be problematic because it doesn't offer such great NAS and Raid options out of the box, making it harder to maintain.
ZFS is objectively the best disk pool solution, where did you read that?
I read some more about it and yeah ZFS seems like a great solution. Do you happen to know how easy it is to upgrade storage with ZFS? E.g. i start with just 2x4TB but later I add another 2x4TB, would that be easy or would this result in a total rebuild?

You usually need to trigger a total rebuild to make it part of the same pool, but you could always make it separate vdevs.

The best route would be to start with the number of drives you want at least, and upgrade them via replacement as you go.
