Pros and cons of Proxmox in a home lab?
  • If you want to get things working then never "tinker" with things, maybe it's not worth it. But if you want to learn and be able to try new things it is really helpful. Having a new VM not breaking existing VMs reduces risk when trying something new.

  • Steve with GN Considering Linux
  • The part you are missing is that they are making content that aligns with the majority of their audience. Most people will put in a similar level of effort. Most people don't care, they just want it to work with the least effort possible.

  • Proxmox Help
  • I can't give you specifics but generally what is likely necessary:

    1. Backup anything important. You will be doing things that risk loosing data.
    2. Make a bootable USB with a live Linux.
    3. Look up instructions on resizing partitions.
    4. Boot into the live Linux from the USB
    5. Resize your existing Proxmox partition
  • me_irl. Right now, in fact 😮‍💨
  • I have found a couple things help me pretty reliably. Listen to something calming and repetitive like white noise or rain sounds. Then have a mundane thing to think about and focus on. I will visualize starting with a cube of wood and slowly cutting the edges and corners of to make a sphere. Or imagine I am cleaning a flow with methodic sweeping and mopping.

  • How much does it matter what type of harddisk i buy for my server?
  • Other people have suggested good info to gain nuisanced knowledge. I recommend starting with a simple fact. With enough time and/or the right conditions all storage will fail. Design your setup with redundancy. I personally had to replace 2x 12tb drives this year. I have raidz3 (3 parity drives) and a hot spare. So I just bought cheap replacements from a reputable seller on eBay and consider it part of the cost of self hosting.
