My own approach is to run vm/lxc of SSDs that's are hosted on proxmox directly.
Then I have a truenas with Nas storage. I mount that through SMB to proxmox and pass the different dirs into the vm/lxc that need them.
SSD are much better performance for vm/lxc.
Edit: even running the Nas as a vm i would mount it with SMB, making it easy to spilt them up later if you want. Also I have 10gbit netcards between the nas and proxmox.
Install proxmox, and play around with Linux containers, if it goes wrong just delete it and start over. Also installing change detection is quite easy using helper scripts: https://helper-scripts.com/scripts?id=Change+Detection
Living in Denmark, it's always so odd for me when health insurance is somehow connected to your job... Why?
Health is needed for anyone, both people who work and not. Why it only makes sense for everyone to have access for it, and everyone paying for it over taxes.
Keeping it connected with work is poodle giving the employers more power than they should have - they should not have any power over healthcare.
Honestly I've been using Google play books for years, just upload pdf or epub and you have it on phone, ipad and computer. Plus it remembers how far you are on between devices.
Readarr for storing on own server, before I upload them.
It worked really well for me, used to have two domains on it, have one now - it made sense to move one of them to an old legacy gmail to have integrated calendar.
Anyway, been happy about mxroute, from what I read they are quite strict about not using it to bulk email, but I'm just using it for my personal mail, so that's not an issue.
They also provide access to smtp logs in and out, makes it easy to see if an email was sent out received.
The downside is the 10gb space, but if you like me are only a few people then it's most likely not an issue.
I've bought mxroute lifetime a year ago, so far it been working really good. I use imap for my mail, my wife gets it forwarded to Gmail - both works fine.
Plus I can use mxroute smtp from my self host server to send mails from the services on it.
You can run two different services on same port, but different ip …
Not really that important anymore, with caddy or nginx it’s easy to get around that for http or https …
