Help with Storage for Jellyfin, Photoprism, NextCloud

[fguisso]

Hi all,

I'm trying to set up a network storage solution on Proxmox and would appreciate some guidance on the best approach. Here's my current setup:

• I'm running Photoprism, Jellyfin, and NextCloud as LXCs on MiniPC with PVE.

• MiniPC has a SSD with 256gb

• I have a new 1TB external HDD in a MAIWO bay that handles RAID1 directly through hardware. Proxmox only detects a single disk (/dev/sda).

My goal is to create a network storage that allows my media containers to share images and videos, and possibly spin up an LXC with qbittorrent to download files and share them with the other applications.

I'm currently unsure about the best way to set up this storage. Should I use OpenMediaVault (OMV), or is using local-lvm a better option? Also, would SMB or NFS be more suitable for my needs?

I've come across some documentation, but I'm still uncertain about the pros and cons of each setup. Any advice on how to configure this would be greatly appreciated, especially regarding the interaction between the RAID1 disk and Proxmox's storage setup.

• Mount Additional Storage in OMV LXC on Proxmox
• container with physical disk

Thanks in advance!
