oops straight to stage 4.
but wait stage 3 looks daunting
Don’t get me wrong, I use libvrt where it makes sense but why would anyone go to proxmox from a full iac setup?
I do 2 at home, and 3 at work, coming from 4 at both and haven’t looked back.
Because it is much simpler to provision a VM
Maybe for the initial setup, but nothing is more repeatable than automation. The more manual steps you have to build your infra, the harder it is to recover/rebuild/update later
You automate the VM deployments.

Kubernetes is overkill for most things not just self hosting. If you need yo learn it great otherwise don’t waste your time on it. Extremely complicated given what it provides.

fr, unless you’re horizontally scaling something or managing hundreds of services what’s the point

I agree with this thread, but to answer your question I think the point is to tinker with it j “just because”. We’re all in this for fun, not profit.
