  • Proxmox sounds like it fits their use case , it’s a useful and tweakable solution, and because it’s based on KVM you can pass through hardware with IOMMU. Personally, I run Proxmox on my (admittedly not very good) home server with like 12 gigs of ram and a processor from the early 2010s, handles a few VMs just fine with hardware passthrough to a TrueNAS VM. I do run a lot of my micro services on some cheap thin clients (DNS mainly) for redundancy as I mentioned, they were cheap. Home Assistant OS is happy on Proxmox as is Jellyfin with hardware acceleration.













  • Some people seem to hate on it, but I love Docker, it works well for what it has to do and has relatively low overhead as far as I can tell. I personally virtualize a Debian server on Proxmox for my containers just so as to keep everything even more compartmentalized, but it takes more work than it’s worth to set up.

    And if you don’t like Docker for whatever reason, you can also try Podman which is API compatible with Docker for the most part.
