This is a short overview of how it is put together.</p> <h2 id="virtualisation">Virtualisation</h2> <p>A single Proxmox host runs the whole setup as virtual machines:</p> <ul> <li><strong>TrueNAS</strong> runs as a VM and handles storage. Disks are passed through to it so that ZFS manages them directly, and it exposes that storage back to the other VMs over NFS and iSCSI.</li> <li><strong>Talos Linux</strong> provides a minimal, immutable, API-driven Kubernetes OS. All of my self-hosted applications run here rather than directly on the host.</li> </ul> <p>Keeping everything as VMs on Proxmox makes it easy to snapshot, back up and rebuild individual pieces without touching the rest.</p>
