Ok so I've been doing some mild digging around a few places and decided that I think freenas will work well for what I want. However I need to know for sure. So I've compiled a tentative parts list. First you probably want to know the purpose of the machine in question. I'd like it to perform a few different functions: Plex server(includes housing media, 4k transcoding as needed, and media database.), surveilance zoneminder server(includes recording, motion detecting, and live feed viewing as needed), a minecraft server housed in a ramdisk, and a more or less photo/video dumping ground. Each of these tasks will be divided into their own docker containers with the exception of the photo/video dumping ground is obviously just network storage use and need not live in a separate vm. Now onto the hardware:
MOBO: gigabyte mz32-ar0 https://www.gigabyte.com/Server-Motherboard/MZ32-AR0-rev-10/sp#sp
CPU: 1x epyc 7402p https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16819113592
Memory: 8x samsung 32gb ecc ddr4-2666mhz 2gx4 https://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=D42632G4S2&c=CJ&cjevent=6d458db8d8ba11e9827f00140a1c0e0d
High speed storage for software/plex database: 1TB 970 evo plus https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MFZY2F2/?
Raid drives: 8x 8TB ironwolf pro 7200rpm drives (raidz2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XX4HBY8/
Does this seem sufficient from the freenas side of things? are there any concerns with hardware compatibility? any concerns with the number of vms or their configuration being problematic? Any hardware change reccomendations? Thanks in advance
