     <p>ZFS has quite a big overhead and sending files over FTP to some folders can really use A LOT OF RAM. And I mean a lot. Like 24 GB just for 200 GB backup files. The system slows down the IO-Speed to keep the VM from overflowing the ZFS stuff but wow.</p>
     <p>Only anoying thing is updating. On a basic Ubuntu-Server a simple batch script can jump around and execute all update commands one after the other. With this setup I would need to find a way to enter VM's and LXC containers and update them without losing context or script flow and state, exit them and even somehow use API's of Portainer to trigger re-pulls. AKA. Auto-Update is not easily possible with Proxmox. I saw setups online with services all over the place and jobs timed everywhere and so on. Just update everything once a month and be happy it dose not break for no reason after you looked at it funny.</p>
     <p>Is this ideal or the best setup? No! The virtiofs use with VM's and folder mounting in Container has a good amount of overhead, how stuff is run, if in a VM or LXC container could have been better selected, scripts to manage everything and even the docker-compose's them self could have been cleaned up, but it works. Everything is done clean, with in spec of Proxmox and there recommendations, to some extend, no out of spec jank and all monitor-able and backup-able. I like it far more then the old jank setup with Ubuntu-Server. I might not be a fan of the way some projects like Ubuntu-Server, Docker, Nextcloud or Proxmox are run but all I use is OpenSource, dose not phone anywhere I don't tell it to and works how I want it to. And also: Having EXTREMELY EASY AND AUTOMATIC separate IP addresses for different types of container and VM's I made is brilliant. Not even the need to static IP them. Tell the router to give the MAC-Address a static IP and the Container or VM will use it no questions asked!</p>
-    <p><b><u>Update from 2026.01.04</u>:</b> I tried to create a bond network with the dual LAN 1G ports of my mainboard, issue: The device is in the network but has no internet and services are very unreliably reachable. Turns out most consumer hardware can not handle a dual LAN connections with a spoofed/bonded MAC address. To get this working I would need a server great network switch in between my 'server' and my router. It seems only server great routers (expansive waste) have such a switch integrated. A run-of-the-mill fritz-box (Germany loved those things for some reason) dose not. Also, if your Intel network port has random outiage issues, it is a driver issues with no solution and only a workaround by adding "post-up ethtool -K eno1 tso off gso off" to it in "/etc/network/interfaces".</p>
