I'm about to add a new iX Systems Mini+ to take over primary file service duties here at Dismal Manor. The incumbent server will become a replication target for the new primary. Both systems are small, 10 TB or so usable with about 10 - 12 drives between them. No clusters or containers, etc. Just basic sharing and Roon Core and Plex to serve music and other media.
Does it make sense to use True Command in such a small basic-service environment?
If so, should True Command be hosted other than on my two TrueNAS servers (incumbent is home brew Xeon E3-1225 with onboard graphics that is lightly loaded with Roon Core, music library, and Time Machine spool volume).
I foresee only a replication task between the two but can the replication target be a hot standby for the primary? Interesting but probably totally overkill as have had no forced outages to this point.
Thanks for your thoughts and recommendations.
