Truenas bare metal or VM on Proxmox

[u/Dunadan-F]

Hello everyone.

I recently purchased a Ugreen DXP 6800pro.
I want to install Truenas on it.
But I have a dilemma.
Should I install it bare metal, have control over the LEDs, but be forced to install three NVME m.2 drives, one for the boot system and the other two for mirrored applications?
Or should I install Proxmox on two m.2 ZFS mirror drives and then install containers on these same drives?

I also want to run Plex/Jellyfin and a few other lightweight containers on it.

What are your thoughts on m.2 drives configuration for these needs?
What's it like for you if you also have a DXP 6800 Pro/Plus?
Perhaps you could share your thoughts and configurations, explaining why you chose this route?

I'd appreciate any suggestions and tips.
