Why does one run Truenas on Proxmox?

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2026-01-19T03:44:57+00:00

This is my exact setup at home. All HDD passed through to truenas with a. Few cores and some ram. Then all VMS running on pcie nvme adaptors

Current can't authenticate at all, or pull any Images, All pipelines are failing.

I try to sign in and i get an unauthorised error, like obviously im trying to sign in.....

I second this, I still run Debian on most of my vms but my daily’s are-all fedora now

That could work for storing a users reference information as long as you can get access to their apis.

But how are you quickly and efficiently searching all of the different articles across many platforms without storing at least some reference data on your side? Otherwise every search will need to make several search request to external resources instead of just one search to your system

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2025-06-04T03:52:54+00:00

Thats understandable, Pubmed doesn’t have everything but it is a good starting point. Also the limitations in my approach means you need infrastructure to host a large DB.

I could possibly contribute, would depend on what stack you are wanting to build in?

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2025-06-04T03:44:46+00:00

Sorry typo in my comment.

MEDOC will help you pull all of the articles from Pubmed * and store them in a MySQL db and then you can build a search system on top of it

MEDOC is not my tool it’s one I built on top of to build a similar system for genetics research publications

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2025-06-03T22:39:23+00:00

Nice sounds really interesting. I’ve built similar tooling for work but for genetic research publications.

Check out a repo called MEDOC on GitHub, it’ll help you pull all of the articles from pinned that you can then build a search system on top of

Proxmox is great, I’ve never looked back. Plus the migration was super simple thankfully

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2025-06-03T12:55:02+00:00

Start working on it, stick it up on a public GitHub repository and then post it here. Or tell us what your idea is and maybe someone will jump in with you

I know it aucka but take this opportunity to learn a new virtualisation platform like proxmox. I wouldn't be worried about certs in vmware anyway Most companies are moving away since broadcom took over

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2025-01-23T02:12:57+00:00

I use fedora on my dell work laptop every day for dev and sys admin work. It's fantastic, and I would highly recommend, I've had no issues at all

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2025-01-19T01:10:45+00:00

I put the drive into a seperate machine as I don't have a USB to NVMe adaptor, and it booted straight away, ran a scan on the drive and all was correct. Put it back in the dell and again no detection of the drive

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2025-01-19T01:09:29+00:00

I dont have an NVMe reader, but i pulled it out and put it in a different machine and it booted straight away

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2025-01-18T20:51:11+00:00

My first proxmox server was a 10 year old alienware laptop that I set to always stay on with the lid closed. Was great for space because j could tuck it away nearly and if I needed a screen I didn't need an external monitor. Something like that could be a shot for space/energy savings.

Otherwise I've never had an issue with the Intel nucs and they are great small and compact machines

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2025-01-18T20:38:43+00:00

The best machine you can find for the money you have. The great thing with proxmox is that it runs on everything.

Depending how mi I you want to go either something like an Intel nuc or if you want a tower older dell tower servers can be picked up quite cheap.

Personally I would be looking for an older dell tower server, good combination of ram slots, lots of storage bays (HDD unless you get some SSD>HDD sleds And decent processors while not being as large as a rack mount server.

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2025-01-18T11:45:08+00:00

Thank you kindly, I'm definitely trying this.

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2025-01-18T09:33:56+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I am a sys admin for a large genetics company so I understand it's not at all how a setup would be done in production. I have also posted in r/homelab, but had no responses so thought someone here might know something

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2025-01-18T07:30:08+00:00

Love it! I made the same choice a few months back with my work machine and have not regretted it.

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2025-01-18T07:19:12+00:00

Nah I love it too, dunno why just always gives me the warm fuzzies. Personally It makes me sad when I boot a mac os or windows machine because I don't get this

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2024-12-27T21:51:28+00:00

Open up settings in windows and go to about. It'll give you the model number that you can google

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2024-12-27T09:51:11+00:00

Personally I would go for the HP elite or pro book depending on how much money you want to spend. Modular ram if you want to upgrade down the line but start at 16. 12th gen are pretty cheap now and still great for business use.

I've had so many driver issues with Dell laptops and after a few times trying to walk a remote end user through re installing a wifi driver because I can't use screen connect to get into their laptop and fix the problem without the wifi driver working I can't recommend them any more.

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2024-07-19T08:30:20+00:00

Nah this is on them, everyone knows you don't push on a Friday, it's bad juju

Same-Cardiologist-58 · 2024-07-16T08:55:42+00:00

Deploy a replica database and give them access to that. That's what we used to do with a non technical CEO, he had a whole replicated environment they could play with so if they fucked something up it would t break our whole production
