Proxmox 4 lyf
proxmox. i fine its very easy to work with and manage. also proxmox backup server is amazing
Debian, FreeBSD. Proxmox is awesome for hosting VMs, LXC, and Docker Containers (via a VM).
Home Server: VMware ESXi NAS: Unraid
VMware esxi. The only one I tried, and it works amazing.
ESXi here too, on consumer hardware.
Ubuntu Server for Docker hosts.
TrueNAS for… NAS.
All on one server.
Proxmox, unraid, pihole ftw
How is proxmox with unraid? I am looking to migrate over to that setup but am worried about how complex it’ll get.
Proxmox, truenas
Yup. Proxmox as OS and truenas as a VM + passtrough disks
My setup got too big, so im running proxmox and truenas bare metal. But passthrough is also a good option!
Denian stable, openSUSE Leap
Arch. No Window Managers or Desktop Environments. Its easy to work with when no extra fluff is installed.
Debian
I was an ESXi fan for over a decade until I found proxmox.
Now I use a combination of VMs and Linux containers.
I use containers for:
Pihole, Ubiquity WiFi Controller, Plex, Audio Bookshelf, imfluxdb, etc. And VMs for Home Assistant and Untangled.

Thanks, very interesting read. I’ve been to ESXi for 15 years more or less (first box was an atom miniitx vanilla board) but you really made me interested in PVE. As if I needed another project…
