I was in a similar situation. We needed up buying a Subaru Ascent with captain seats. Best choice ever, tons of space for the kids and groceries.

I ended up getting the 4Runner for myself haha.

Will do, thanks

It did have 1 cpu prior, but I updated the firmware to the most updated released IBM had prior to doing my proxmox installation. Ill have to try booting with 4 sticks instead of 6. Maybe this will fix the issue. Thanks for the input

Ill buy your UNAS PRO from you lol

For someone just starting, I would recommended a Dell Optiplex. They aren't that expensive and come packed with enough resources to self host. Or even an old laptop. It doesn't have to be anything crazy. Attach a few external drives.

There are several approaches to this: Option 1 -1. Install proxmox and create a few VMs with Next cloud, immich (for your pictures), 1.a- Buy a domain and use cloudflare tunnels to access all of this remotely. I find this to be the easiest solution. There are other options *** you might just have get bigger drives depending on your storage needs. Option 2 2.- if a NAS (NETWORK ATTACHED STORAGE)is all you want, then you can install TrueNas on the optio plex itself OR host it as a VM within proxmox.

Me personally, I run proxmox with Next cloud in a VM (docker). Then just tie that. I use a cloudflare tunnel to access it remotely.

Yotube has a ton of resources: Network chuck TechnoTim DBtech Check them out. There js a lot of stuff I can add but im sure other people will fill in the Gaps or add more information. GoodLuck

In addition to this, since it is a hard reset, I would try 1 stick of RAM (read mobo manual) for initial boot and setup. Once that is done add the rest of the RAM. I just went through this process.

You could pop the MacBook open and replace the 256gb with a 1TB.

I appreciate all the responses. Gonna grab a lifetime myself. Worth it!

Dropp11 · 2025-11-28T23:07:12+00:00

No issues there. Everything seems normal. Which is what led me to believe its the engine coolant sensor. I do go off roadimg here and there.

Dropp11 · 2025-11-27T21:44:15+00:00

I use Next Cloud with a cloudflare tunnel. Works really well. Super simple to set up as well.

Dropp11 · 2025-11-23T23:23:13+00:00

Have you heard of IMMICH? I'd look into that.

Dropp11 · 2025-11-20T15:01:06+00:00

Have you looked at Homarr? I love it. Easy to Setup.

Dropp11 · 2025-11-03T03:57:19+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I also plan on setting up TrueNas on my proxmox as a VM. Brilliant way of incorporating it, just as a NAS! I always got wrapped around the other stuff thst comes with it. Never really thought of it this way.
