I recently asked about an alternative to Google Drive, and someone mentioned Synology. After some digging, I came across xpenology.
Since I already have an Intel NUC (proxmox), I decided to give it a go and got it successfully setup in a dedicated VM.
Now that Synology looks very powerful, I decided to go with it while also planing to upgrade my current NUC setup from 250GB ssd/750GB HD to 2tb nvme/2tb SSD.
While doing that, I was wondering whether I should keep my current VM (fedora) that runs some docker services like proxmox portainer, reverse-proxy, blocky, etc or whether I should move these to the xpenology VM.
Edit: I just realized, my comment was confusing due to a typo… To clarify: I run proxmox on bare-metal and have two VMs in there, Fedora and xpenology. So in short, is the Fedora VM redundant while having a powerfull synology OS already running?
I’ve found nextcloud to be slow too when dealing with 10s of GB or more of data. Anything less that seems to be fine. I don’t use it myself for that reason.

I’d really prefer to avoid NextCloud, since it was very slow, in comparison to Synology, on the same hardware.
But thx for the hint abaout casaos. Didn’t know about that. Will definitely have a look at it.
