1. I want to own my own data. Sometimes the government decides
to raid a data center and impound the machines that hold the
evidence. In a clo
I have some Arm based servers (e.g. my DHCP server, Unifi Controller, etc).
And I have a VM host for most of the rest.

Who is this "Nobody" of which you speak? I don't think I have ever met
them. But I know, and know of, lots of peo
I know this is a little bit off topic, but why would you set up a machine

Create VMs to perform the services and have the IPs mapped to the VM and
hostmap the IP. That way you can back up the "server" and in case of
emergency, almost any Linux running can

NFS is great if you want to mount/share a file system. You can also use
iscsi to share an actual "drive." You can boot off the SDcard can mount an
iscsi shared block device as the root partition.

Netboot the pi and skip the SD altogether. Nfs mount the drives from your
file sever. Far easier and more reliable that way. Also good for playing
with clusters.

I think this is true with an RPI3, but the RPI4 has USB-3 and had pretty
good access. Not great, but pretty good.
For me, I use the SDcard on a RPI just to boot it. I mount a USB->SATA
cable and an SSD for the root partition. I've had too many SDcards die on
me.

I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure that 32bit is not supported. You'd need a 64

The big reason not to use ZFS on a Pi is SD-Card. If you

Very likely silliness.
Or, maybe not. Small, quiet. The Raspberry Pi 4 is decently powerful.
For a low volume e-mail server, more than sufficient.

I assume that due to the Pi's funky boot process, it's not a

It seems it should "just work" (providing one has enough RAM), but when

ZFS Uses:
ZFS is really great for backups. We all know that the best backup is two
copies. My previous company had a product strategy that allows incremental
backups backups "forever" and always resulted in a "full."
