Hello everyone,im thinking about migrating from proxmox to unraid but im not sure if this is a good idea and I need some feedback.
I currently have 1 server with consumer hardware which runs proxmox and has 4 VMs:
- TrueNAS (2* 4tb)
- VM for docker and other services
- Game Servers running on an SSD
- Game Servers running on an M.2
Im planning on upgrading my storage to 3 * 20TB in the near future.
My goal is it to remove complexity from my homelab and unraid has some features like mixing drive sizes and reduced power consumption. I know that the migration of all the docker containers and volumes will be a pain.
The main reason why I’m thinking about this, is that a the kernel of a friends proxmox killed itself, which was a lots of work to fix.
Would this have a performance impact?Is it possible to run docker containers on different drives?
I’d love to hear your opinions!

I’ve been using unraid for a few years on bare metal, and I have it running two VMs about around 30 containers. I plan to do the opposite of what you’re asking here; I’m going to migrate unraid to be a vm on proxmox and the two VMs I have on unraid will move to proxmox. I’m not sure where I want to run the containers yet, but I eventually plan to have another proxmox server so that I can always keep important services up even when I need to have a physical server down for maintenance.
Unraid is OK. It’s easy to use and manage, but it definitely does not feel like an enterprise system. Backups work but are a little clunky and you can’t run unraid as a cluster or in HA mode.
