I purchased a NUC with 32 GB memory, 512 SSD and AMD 8 core processor. I already have a NAS.
I was wondering how do you guys use NUC? My mostly workload are containers.
Do you install proxmox on NUC itself and run VMs
OR
Just install a Linux on NUC and use it as a docker host?
Suggestions please?
Appreciate your advice, thank you
Proxmox + docker host.
I am running Proxmox on my NUC ( 8 x 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i3-1315U )
This is my PoC/DEV machine next to an ESXi (mATX) host and my first experience with Proxmox.So much options with Proxmox. Next step will be exploring a Proxmox cluster.
(This might replace my ESXi host one day.)I run windows server on it with VMware hosting multiple VMs. It’s not the most efficient OS for it obviously but I’m a heavily window background engineer and like to tinker. My VMs are a home assistant dedicated box and an Ubuntu VM for docker containers
I’m seeing many people here in the comments installing Ubuntu… Am I the alien one for going with Debian?
I’ve had issues with Ubuntu on my VPSes a few years ago, and replaced it with Debian and everything has been smooth since then. I thought I’d slap it on the NUC too… Am I missing something not going the Ubuntu way?
