There’s also Netbird, worth checking out.

Yes, unfortunately I have a windows laptop that has to stay on windows.

Don’t worry about me, I’ll definitely break a lot of things in the process :-)

OK, I’ll see. I have a tiny bit of exposure to Proxmox at work so I know it’s not easy, but since it will be my HW I can fuck it up as much as I want without getting fired :-)

My thought process of OMV vs TrueNAS is that TrueNAS might be a little bit overkill when the only thing I’d want is to share the space (either NFS or SMB). I had to upgrade the RAM in the Asustor just to install it in the first place…

Thank you. I’ll see how my free time will look and how far and how fast I’ll progress.

OK, good.

Do you see any reason not to use SMB in my case or is it just NFS 'cause it’s propper linux thing?

I’ll see what I can do once I manage to spin the Proxmox up. Thank you for heads up.

I meant less confident like I am not confident enough to run it properly. Setting it up with zero experience with how it works or how ZFS works was quite intimidating for me.

How do you share the storage with Proxmox? NFS or SMB/CIFS? Do you access stored data only through Proxmox or do you also connect to Truenas directly?
