1L Lenovo as the mini pc? I'm really interested in what you want to run. Because if it can run in a container or in a VM it can run on TrueNAS.

Yes.

*sighs*

I want to run umbrel for it supposedly being a good way to run a bunch of things that I want to utilize with supposedly click-to-install ease.

I could just run umbrel directly on the tinyPC... But, I have made my life more difficult since I thought I could run proxmox to run various VMs for other purposes without needing a billion separate raspis. (I irrationally dislike raspis. But also... One tinyPC is actually more e Li ectrically efficient than a bunch of them, and it is also much more powerful and upgradable.)

So I'm trying to get umbrel to install on a VM that I set up on proxmox but I can't figure out how to pass a thumb drive through and reboot the VM to install umbrel.

I also can't figure out how to pass through an iso image.

And more the VM refuses to reboot. WTF!

I share the almost irrational suspicion towards Raspberries too. In the past I built a project on it and it was nothing but issue next to another issue...

Electricity consumption is a also a good point.

Here is a build i did years ago...

Very impressive build!

And yeah. I have used a couple, but... I'm not really impressed with them. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah those were the times of hand building... Nowadays I would just go get used Supermicro server and call it a day. Comparable power consumption, significantly beefier, with build in redundancies and sturdy construction. It is a bit lazy, but I guess that is the old and balding me... :-)

No, it's just sensible at this point. Time is precious as long as you've got enough fiat to leverage for shortcuts, that's a good thing.
