  • After briefly reading about systemd’s tmpfiles.d, I have to ask why it was used to create home directories in the first place. The documentation I read said it was for volatile files. Is a users home directory considered volatile? Was this something the user set up, or the distro they were using. If the distro, this seems like a lot of ire at someone who really doesn’t deserve it.











  • Annoying yes, but I’d argue that’s likely the simplest and most performant approach. At best (IPTables NAT), you’d be adding in an extra network hop to your SMB connections which would effect latency, and SMB is fairly latency sensitive especially for small files. And at worst (Traefik), you’d adding in a user-space layer 7 application that needs to forward every bit of traffic going over your SMB connection.



  • I have a feeling routing SMB traffic through Traefik is going to be a performance and latency nightmare. Is your TrueNAS VM’s network interface bridged to your home network? If so, use a static IP and just have clients connect directly. If not, your best bet is likely iptables NAT to forward a port from your Proxmox servers IP to the TrueNAS VM.
