If you're using TrueNAS, use RAIDz. Doing anything else negates all the benefits of TrueNAS.

It's very easy to find them with IT mode already flashed so it's plug-and-play.
Yeah, so the IT mode flash makes it just a JBOD controller, which is what truenas wants. It works with SAS and SATA. You'd need SFF-8086 to SATA cables. (One cable per 4 drives)
The LSI 9210 8i - IT mode is a great option and can be had for under $50.
You would need a separate controller.
I use proxmox with truenas scale. It's a great option, but you just have to make sure to pass the hdd controller PCI device through to the VM. This can either be the SATA controller on the motherboard if you can make that work, or a separate PCIe HBA.
That's eventually the plan, but I expect that process to take on the order of a year, unfortunately.
I would LOVE to switch to codeberg for work, but my work requires that all data be hosted in the US, so I recently pitched GitLab as an alternative to GitHub, even though it's not perfect.
That did it! Thanks.
Neat! I tried to add my freshrss server and got an error:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">...
My URL is of the format https://freshrss.example.com, my tls certs are good, and I'm using freshrss version 1.23.0
Came here to link to this. Open hardware computers are a thing, they're just really pricey.
I have a lot of services. I use Ansible to manage many of them, so they're all in one VM. I use Home Assistant, which works best when installed as a whole VM or on bare metal. For the remaining services that I have yet to set up with Ansible, I keep the services that need the GPU on one VM, and everything else on another. Finally, I have an LXC container that is my SSH entrypoint and Ansible management system.
I could technically use TrueNAS Scale as a hypervisor for all this, but Proxmox has a lot of quality-of-life features that make it a better hypervisor. I could use Proxmox for ZFS and shares, but TrueNAS has has a lot of quality-of-life features that make it a much better NAS, so I virtualize it.
