Hello there,
First of all, I have to admit that I am a complete newbie regarding True Nas.
I am currently trying to set up a few VMs. They should all run different programs, for example, nextcloud, Jellyfin, Pi-Hole, and Nginx proxy manager. Since I do not have much experience and hours of research have not helped, I would be glad if someone could help.
My configuration consists of a 6-core CPU, 32 GB of RAM, 2x 500GB m.2 SSD, and 32 TB of HDD.
I would prefer to install all programs in different jails, but since this does not work, I decided to use VM (with Ubuntu Server) instead.
Regarding setting up the VMs, I read many articles. Many articles state that if I allocate too many CPU cores, it could result in crashing True Nas since there are not enough processing units remaining. For example, three cores to nextcloud, three cores to Jellyfin (since they do more intensive work), and one CPU core to Pi-Hole and to Nginx proxy manager (since they do less intensive work). Is this still the case? Or has True Nas implemented security measures (since those articles are now a few years old) preventing the VMs from using more processing units than are available? Or does this not matter since a single VM does not use all six cores at once.
In addition, should I consider switching to TrueNas Scale instead?
Many thanks for your help!
