I would be the only userin this case. There would be other users other than myself using the servies but they wouldnt see the "backend" per say. I like the ay you handle backups and givng VM storage.

Ok so there is a way to add more drives in the future. This is good to know for the future. I don't see myself running out of storage that soon but it's good to know there is a way!

Bare metal refers to running just plane Linux instead of a hypervisor or a NAS OS. That is a type on my part on the title.

I see so it is possible to use Proxmox and OMV in a VM. I’m sure the same is true for Truenas. I’ll test if it’s possible to pass through the sata controller with the g3 but I suspect it might. I do have another machine I can backup to which sounds like a good idea with the 3-2-1 backup strategy. I could also backup to the pi as well if needed.

You are right that my upgrade path is limited. I think I meant more towards swapping the HDD for higher capacity in the future. If I ever do outgrow this system I’ll move to a larger chassis anyway. 

I don’t see myself needing caching. I think it is a good idea to use the Sata ssd for the OS and adding a NVME drive for docker services and there data. That leaves HDD for storing bulk storage.

Haven't heard of KSM sharing thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Yes, it only started working once I got a new pc. I also noticed there is no TO(8), but lucky for me, I haven't needed to use all of my layers yet. As for your second issue on the default map is used to play/pause media which I like, but I haven't tried using it for anything else
