  • You’ve made a virtual disk on the zfs. The vm will never see the zfs, that’s managed entirely by the host.

    Yes you’ll want to make a normal partition inside that virtual disk.

    With vms you can’t just access the host zfs, it’s always abstracted. If you use lxc containers on proxmox then you can bind the zfs into the container (google it for steps, it’s not in the Gui)

    You could do something like nextcloud to solve a lot of issues, but I’d still hesitate to recommend on-prem hardware and managing hardware yourself. It really comes down to the business tolerance for outages though, maybe the computers being down for a day or two doesn’t matter.

    Are you providing a support contract long term? Are you backed by multiple people in case you’re away and their business is down? I say this more figuratively than specifically you, this could also apply to their internal IT guy who wants to do this.

    I’d strongly suggest deferring to a local business IT services company, unless you’re an active partner in the business. They should find a company they are comfortable with and trust, then use the products they recommend and are comfortable with.
