Comment on Spare mini PCs? What would you do with them?
sol6_vi@lemmy.makearmy.io 2 days agoI’ve been curious about running a hardware firewall/router, I’ve seen it discussed but don’t know much about it. I also hear a lot of people swear by their proxmox setups but I am a complete noob there so again more research would be required. What I’ve heard about running a proxmox setup has looked overwhelming at a glance.

Proxmox is easy. Install it, create a VM, install your OS in the VM, and you’re off to the races.
If you want to use replication between nodes, you will need to use zfs for your VM storage. I think it gives you the option during the installer, but if not you may need to fix it afterwards. It’s not hard, proxmox runs Debian under the hood.
