Mikrotik are really aimed at advanced users, ubiquiti brand themselves as prosumer products. I found the Ubiquiti interface a complete mess - but it could just be me.
If it can run OpenWRT I’d suggest taking that path (if you like to tinker / the device supports it). My Google WiFi hubs are still humming away after all these years - now with way more features and a usable interface!

I’ve not tested the method linked but yeah it would seem like it’s possible via this method.
My lone VM doesn’t need a connection to those drives so I’ve not had a point to.
You could probably run OMV in an LXC and skip the overheads of a VM entirely. LXC are containers, you can just edit the config files for the containers on the host Proxmox and pass drives right through.
Your containers will need to be privileged, you can also clone a container and make it privileged if you have something setup already as unprivileged!
Yeah there is a workaround for using bind-mounts in Proxmox VMs: https://gist.github.com/Drallas/7e4a6f6f36610eeb0bbb5d011c8ca0be
If you wanted, and your drives are mounted to the Proxmox host (and not to a VM), try an LXC for the services you are running, if you require a VM then the above workaround would be recommended after backing up your data.
I’ve got my drives mounted in a container as shown here:
Basicboi config, but it’s quick and gets the job done.
I’d originally gone down the same route as you had with VMs and shares, but it’s was all too much after a while.
I’m almost rid of all my VMs, home assistant is currently the last package I’ve yet to migrate. Migrated my frigate to a docker container under nixos, tailscale exit node under nixos too while the vast majority of other packages are already in LXC.
Ahh the shouting from the rooftops wasn’t aimed at you, but the general group of people in similar threads. Lots of people shill tailscale as it’s a great service for nothing but there needs to be a level of caution with it too.
I’m quite new to the self hosting game myself, but services like tailscale which have so much insight / reach into our networks are something that in the end, should be self hosted.
If your using SMB locally between VMs maybe try proxmox, https//clan.lol/ is something I’m looking into to replace Proxmox down the line. I share bind-mounts currently between multiple LXC from the host Proxmox OS, configuration is pretty easy, and there are lots of tutorials online for getting started.
I still use it, the service is very handy (and passes the wife test for ease of use)
Probably some tinfoil hat level of paranoia, but it’s one of those situations where you aren’t in control of a major component of your network.
Tailscale is great, but it’s not something that should be shouted from the rooftops.
I use tailscale with nginx / pihole for my home services BUT there will be a point where the “free” tier of their service will be gutted / monetized and your once so free, private service won’t be so free.
Tailscale are SAAS (software as a service), once their venture capital funds look like their running dry, the funds will be coming from your data, limiting the service with a push to subscription models or a combination.
Nebula is one such alternative, headscale is another. Wire guard (which tailscale is based on) again is another.
I just installed xpipe and found i was habitually double clicking, found after I had a good 3 + terminal sessions running I’d best find out why.
Gallagher were great at that, rubbish solution for “teaching” staff about phishing which would infuriate all staff caught in the net. Would come from internal email addresses too which, if one person’s email / credentials are compromised they’ve got bigger fish to fry.
I mean it’s not the worst. Is it still https? Or are they serving plain ol http? My internal services (at home) are mostly https, but the certs are self signed so browsers will flag them as “insecure”.

I’ve recently (in the last week) added my contacts and manage my calendar via nextcloud locally. Davx synchs to my android devices, nextcloud is synched to my haos VM to help me remember bin nights / other appointments. For someone with ASD + ADHD it’s a godsend.
But man, I’ll be able to amend all those TODO items that have been accumulating of the last 12 months and fix all those issues while rebuilding my raid.
I mean that’s only if my GITs aren’t hijacked during the ransomware attack.
And I mean, I’ll probably just push the same config to my server and let it on its merry way again.
They better stay away from .mom domains
