Host NAS inside LXC Container | TurnKey FileServer LXC Template | Proxmox Home Server | Home Lab

Great tutorial, thanks!

Do you know if I can use this to backup my macbook with TimeMachine? Thank you & Best wishes.

great video, i would have never figured it out on my own...now i have to figure out 1 container less than i had to an hour ago, thanks!

Thank you for thorough and useful tutorials. So far I'm 2 for 2 with your tutorials. I've set up a really nice, dependable Nextcloud server and this fileserver. Both work like a charm. Thanks.

Thanks for the video mate, it is very helpful. 🙏 I have a question, if I create a fast zfs pool with ssds and mount it to Turnekey Fileserver, and configure an SMB Share. What would be theoretical speed limit within the same server? Let's say for VM'S which have access to this share? Would it be the read&write speeds of the zfs pool or the read&write of an smb protocol limitation? Many thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for that Video! What is the best way to make a offsite Backup of this Data to a Storage Provider? Or can Proxmox Backup that Data in the ZFS Pool? Thanks!

hi thank you for the great session. I have a short question that how we could create NFS share using this fileserver? Thank you in advance.

Thankyou MRP, It's really easy way to build samba server!

Pacing was a tad fast but overall this video is awesome. Thank you for creating such a detailed and helpful tutorial!

This dude accent sound like a fin trying to speak english...

Really stupid question. Would it be safe to create another container and do the same steps? I'm quite new to Proxmox and I tried to accomplish following. Have "filesystem" mounted in container that would have samba sharing enabled, then as I read something that Jellyfin shouldn't access files via samba I thought if I could then have Jellyfin using the same share. Benefit would also be easy disabling of Samba if using like open share and wanting to secure that nobody could accidentally ie. delete files. In the made VM with mounted second HDD and installed Jellyfin and Samba there, but it really bothers that I couldn't figure out making it work in container(s).

thank you for video clip. very well.
i have a question: is fileserver (turnkey) like truenas core / scale or it better than truenas ?

Thank you so much for your guide. I was able to setup this service and also Plex on a separate priv container. I do have a question if possible you could help me. When I move a file via SMB to any of my mounted datasets, the permissions on the file are defaulting to 755 and not 775. This results in my other priv container not being able to see the file in the data set. I have to go into File Manager within TLK to manually adjust the permissions to 775.

Is there a way to make this automated for any new file or folder created in the dataset via Samba?

Thank you

Cool I just mouted usb drive with ext4 using the same solution - I dont run zfs because of memory usage.

I made the same as you showed and I have a problem to connect do smb on my laptop with Linux Mint.

I watched your recording with nextcloud and I want to have a nexcloud and a NAS server on one machine - should I make two LXC containers for this purpose or can I run the NAS server from the nexcloud level as a plugin?

Thank you, very helpful guide

Hi there! Unfortunately ZFS doesn't work with storage backed up by a RAID. I have 4 2TB Exos Enterprise SAS drives in a RAID 5 in one of my nodes on my home lab. Is there a way to use them as a file server besides setting a windows share on windows server?
