Since some time ago my hassio SD died, i started with fresh install. Now I’m running hassio as VM on ESXi server and using MariaDB on Synology NAS (following tutorial @bungo63 at RPi Hassio + Synology NAS Maria DB For logging). My case was easier, since I already lost all my history db… Otherwise it works great and gives enormous performance boost. One watchout - it is only DB that is moved, not the log. I still keep log inside hassio VM, but since it is running on SSD datastore it is also very fast.
