Hello all,
I finally have hardware sorted for a small TrueNAS box:
HP Z440
E5-1650-V4
32G ECC @ 2133
GTX 1060 6GB
2x 4TB WD Red Plus
Crucial BX500 or a Samsung 870 Evo for a boot drive
I would like to keep TrueNAS isolated from the internet for security purposes, but I would like to run a container or two that would have access to the internet such as NextCloud and the like. I originally started down this road with a laptop trying to run Core in Proxmox with these HDD on an external drive, but that was... problematic. Anyway, I learned some stuff in terms of running Proxmox and all that fun jazz and my understanding is that the VMs run completely independently. I know basically nothing about is how Scale handles VMs besides that they both run on KVM. Does this mean that the VMs inside are secure from the main storage or should I run Core on Proxmox to retain that independence? Or, should I just configure the laptop to run Proxmox to run the other VMs that would be connected to the internet? FWIW, I have a NUC that my old roommate helped set up running a Sophos firewall so, in theory, I am slightly more secure than the home router firewall, but I'm still ver new to all of this, so I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
