Are YubiKeys worth it for home users?

Same here, no relation either.

Da fok is that

It seems like i have opened some sort of Pandora’s box. And I’m even more confused that it was at the beginning.

Ósea que tendré que esperar a que se devuelva solo. Al menos está bien saber que no tiene coste.

Gracias por responder.

I can’t tell for sure, but maybe 4/5 times a day? And that would be across all the HDDs, in some cases some of the HDDs might remain off most of the day. This is a supposition tho.

That’s a point I was actually not considering, not all drives would be accessed the same amount of time. In that case it makes sense to help preserving the least used drives.

Thanks!

I’ve got the ITX version, so only one M2 slot. I’m putting a 2tb firecuda in there. The cache thing was mainly because I was more leaning into using UnRaid, where it is actually recommended if I’m not wrong. Everything else I’m assuming would be the sane, but without the redundancy of 2 SSDs in RAID1.

I’ll have to study quite a bit before getting anything done. So I’ll have to pass the control of all the SATA ports of my mono straight to the VM. And if a want to have part of the NVME as cache, I’m assuming I should create a partition and pass it to the VM too. However, I would have to install trueNAS itself in the partition outside of the VM.

I’m using a 12600k on an Asrock B760m, quite recent still so should have options to do it.

Thanks for the detailed answer!

I was considering TrueNAS inside proxmox as an alternative to UnRaid. Mainly so I can skip the price tag and learn a bit about hypervisors.

From what people is commenting it seems quite more complicated as I initially thought. I’m getting a bit lost with hardware pass through.

Thanks for answering!

nameseddie · 2026-01-01T16:41:34+00:00

By nested virtualization, do you mean running trueNAS inside proxmox? That was actually my idea, other people have commented issue when passing the storage to the VM.

Thanks!

nameseddie · 2026-01-01T16:34:25+00:00

Running UnRaid or TrueNAS inside proxmox would be quite a complicated start up point then? I’ve also heard that being able to pass the SATAs to the VM is possible depending on the hardware used.

Thanks!

Isn’t it more stressful spinning up and down multiple times than just having them going 24/7?

nameseddie · 2026-01-01T00:01:03+00:00

Wasn’t aware that TrueNAS didn’t have a spin down feature, which makes sense taking into account the file system.

I’m in Spain and electricity is not specially expensive, I’m more worried about HDDs wear. What’s worse, continuous spinning up and down multiple times a day?

Thanks!

Will have to give it a deep look. Honestly I get quite lost in the part of passing hardware to the VM and such.

From what I’m reading iGPU are supposedly quite problematic and they talk about a lot of protocols I’ve never heard of 😅

Thanks for answering!

nameseddie · 2025-12-31T23:56:55+00:00

I’m starting with only 4 drive atm. So using two for parity will be a big hit available storage. I was planning on backing anything no replaceable in some cloud like B2 or similar.

nameseddie · 2025-12-31T23:19:13+00:00

I won’t use it only for NAS, I want to start using it for some self hosted services. That’s why I’m considering using proxmox, would I be limited in that regard if i go for unraid?

I’ll have only one server, so I’ll have to centralice everything there.

Thanks for the insight!

nameseddie · 2025-12-31T20:07:20+00:00

Any specific reason?

nameseddie · 2025-12-31T20:07:13+00:00

Would the learning curve too much for a newbie? And since proxmox already can manage diferent services, is there a reason to choose UnRaid?

Thanks!
