Hi guys,
So I've decided to start my journey into the homelab space partly to reskill into the networking field (who knew the music degree mightn't work out?).
I have a few small project ideas I'll be starting with i.e. pihole, general use file storage with remote access, and my own music server.
From what I've seen, running Proxmox seems to be a good way to go for virtualization, and since I'm going to break things along the way, I was wondering if it makes the most sense to run these services on a VM of Proxmox?
My plan right now is to find a cheap secondhand Elitedesk 800 (G3+ for longevity), or equivalent Optiplex system. Run windows or a light Linux distro, then use that to run Proxmox inside of it. I f...
Hi guys,
So I've decided to start my journey into the homelab space partly to reskill into the networking field (who knew the music degree mightn't work out?).

My plan right now is to find a cheap secondhand Elitedesk 800 (G3+ for longevity), or equivalent Optiplex system. Run windows or a light Linux distro, then use that to run Proxmox inside of it. I feel like that could give me options to try out things that don't fall directly under the use cases of Proxmox and then also allow me to have a state to roll back to once I break something.
Sorry if some of these things seem illogical/if I'm fundamentally not understanding the uses for what I've explained above. But I appreciate and advice and help in advance!
