Can This Mini PC Run Proxmox, Docker, and NAS All at Once? In this video, I show how to install Windows, Ubuntu, Configure Docker and install TrueNas Scale for Home NAS system.
In this video, I transform the MiniSForum UN1250 into a powerful yet energy-efficient home server. From installing Proxmox VE to setting up multiple VMs (Windows, Linux, TrueNAS) and running Docker containers like Glance and DocMost, this setup handles it all — including a full Microsoft SQL Server instance.

✅ 64GB RAM Upgrade
✅ Dual Storage Setup (NVMe + SATA)
✅ Runs Proxmox, Docker, TrueNAS
✅ Power Efficient (under 30W load)

Whether you're building a self-hosted lab, a media server, or a private cloud — this video breaks down everything step-by-step.
