Good file servers for Proxmox? (lemmy.world)

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 I'd like to use the IdM features with my file server. I have given TKL FileServer a shot but it really didn'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.

I do it the other way round: proxmox leaves it's hands away from the zpool. The 5 disks are passed through to a vm, everything ZFS starts there, and it offers the samba shares.

My directive is that the bare metal proxmox shall not offer any services to the world outside, only VM's may do that.

That's what I've done as well, hard drives passed through, RAIDZ created on the NAS itself. It's worked great so far.

Same! Two zpools on one Debian VM, shares NFS etc for everything else. I pass through PCIe sata cards to the VM, too.
