Need advice moving my Windows setup to Proxmox + TrueNAS (Minecraft server website storage etc)

I’m planning a pretty big migration and I’d rather ask ppl who have done something similar before I mess something up 😅

I have a humble community and people like the minecraft server and I just started it as a passion project on windows but now I wanna make it production ready by using proxmox and what not

Right now I have a Windows machine that I use for basically everything. I have a Fabric Minecraft server my website files my Obsidian vault and some other dev stuff.

The Minecraft server is running Fabric with the latest Minecraft version 26.2 and Fabric Loader 0.19.3. It has mods and a survival world with actual players so keeping the world safe during the migration is my biggest concern. It’s not Paper or Spigot it’s a proper Fabric setup.

I wanna move away from Windows and install Proxmox then run everything through VMs or LXCs. I’m thinking about doing this cuz I wanna host more stuff in the future like my own Discord bots and other services. and also people have been asking for a creative server too so having proxmox would make it easy to manage multiple servers on the same domain

My hardware right now:

Ryzen 9 3900X

32GB RAM

RTX 3090 Ti currently

Getting another AMD Radeon GPU soon from a friend. I dont know the exact model yet but I was told its around RTX 3060 Ti performance.

My drives:

CT500P1SSD8 NVMe - 500GB

Samsung MZVLW256HEHP NVMe - 256GB

Samsung 870 QVO SSD - 2TB

Samsung 870 QVO SSD - 2TB

WDC WD10JPVX HDD - 1TB

ST1000LM049 HDD - 1TB

im also not sure wich nvme i shuld use for proxmox. should i just throw proxmox on the 500gb nvme n use the 256gb one for somthing else or shud i save the 500gb for vms n put proxmox on the 256gb

And if I do that what would I even use the other NVMe for?

For storage I was thinking maybe TrueNAS could be a good option with Proxmox. I like the idea of having actual redundancy instead of just praying a drive doesnt die.

My idea was using the 2x1TB HDDs as a TrueNAS mirror so I get arond 1TB usable and the 2x2TB SSDs as another mirror so I get around 2TB usable.

that way i have one storage pool with 1tb and another storage pool with 2tb both with redundancy instead of just hopin one drive doesnt die

would truenas even make sense here or am i just makin things way more complicated than they need to be lol

would u run truenas as a vm inside proxmox or would u just do somethin else idk

The plan is basically:

Proxmox as the main system

TrueNAS for storage

A VM or LXC for the Minecraft server

A VM or LXC for my website

Later my own Discord bots and other services

For Minecraft would u recommend Pterodactyl Docker or just running the Fabric server directly in a VM?

Also I’ve seen ppl do GPU passthrough with Proxmox where they run Windows in a VM and pass the GPU through.

since ill have two gpus would it actually be realistic to use this same pc as both a server and a gaming pc

i bascally just wanna turn this machine into my own lil homelab yknow but i wanna do it right the first time cuz i really dont wanna have to redo everything later

What storage layout would u recommend with these drives?

Would u go Proxmox + TrueNAS or something completely different?
