Hello! I have Proxmox VE running on a Dell R730 with an H730. Proxmox manages the disks in a ZFS RAID which is exactly how I want it. Because I intend for this server to have a NAS/file server, I want to set up a container or VM in proxmox that will provide network storage shares to domain-joined systems. Pretty much everything in my lab is joined to FreeIPA, so Iโ€™d like to use the IdM features with my file server. I have given TKL FileServer a shot but it really didnโ€™t seem up to snuff with what I wanted. I am not looking for a NAS solution that will require me to pass through the RAID controller and disks to Proxmox, as I want Proxmox managing the ZFS pool. I can set up an NFS/Samba server in a container, however in trying to do so I was running into issues (due to it being an unprivileged container) that I can probably figure out but I want to see if anyone has any recommendations first.

Iโ€™ve been happily running Open Media Vault in a Proxmox VM for some time now.

did you pass through the disks or straight on zfs?

I didnโ€™t pass any phy disks through, if thatโ€™s what you mean. Iโ€™m using that system for more than OMV. I created disks for the VM like I would any other VM.
