You can use Proxmox for your NAS, but be careful with your storage

I've been using Proxmox a lot recently, deploying various different systems and containers across both of my machines in order to move some of my more essential systems away from my main server. However, one of my two Proxmox machines is the Ugreen DXP4800 Plus NAS, which also serves as my OPNsense machine. As a result, while it works perfectly for that purpose, I have been looking for a way to utilize the 12TB of storage that's still inside it. I've installed HexOS (based on TrueNAS) using those drives, and it works, though not effortlessly.
