Network gamers, I need some advice.
Building a new NAS in a little bit. Currently have 6 rPi's running a bunch of services in my home and my goal is to replace them with this single NAS running those services in docker containers.
Drive wise, its got 24TB of HDD space. My current thought is to also get an SSD to be used as the 'working drive', which the containers can write their logs/configs too. This drive would also be used as a ZFS cache for the drives (RAM is very much at a premium).
Once per day, the container content will be copied to the ZFS pool, and once per week it will be backed up to BackBlaze B2.
The idea is to prevent constant tiny writes to the mechanical drives with logs (and its associated parity calculations), while also saturating my network speed for writes and common reads (2.5gb < random writes for most nvme SSDs these days). One potential downside is that in the event of power outage, I'm guaranteed to lose at least 1 days worth of docker container data.
Am I overthinking this? Is this a good strategy for a home NAS?
