I have an old x86_64 computer which I am planning to use as a NAS. Which of the 2 is a better option? Is it helpful or better to run on bare metal or as a VM on proxmox?

    I run OMV baremetal for last few years. I really like it. I did try TrueNAS and found it too convoluted.

    Nextcloud is a totally different beast that would run on top of either.

    OMV allows you to use ZFS as well if you want (I do) but also the flexibility to use other raid systems.

    I just wish they’d left in portainer as default. No point reinventing the docker wheel…
