Comment on My setup (so far)

My setup is pretty similar. Could you help me with whether I should use proxmox?
Currently have everything on my gaming pc, but moving to it’s own dedicated pc. I have about 15 services running, all docker compose.
Debating between proxmox or debian. And was leaning towards Debian as I think I’d just have one VM of Debian with all my docker stuff, and I figured it being a VM would just add extra complications.
Do you think proxmox would be worth it in my case, or am I completely wrong in my thinking of putting all my dockers in one vm, and that’s not how it should be done?

In my case I wanted to separate my services between the ones accessible from the internet (git. lemmy) and not (bitwarden, *arr). To do this I need 3-4 VMs. I went with proxmox for the backups: you just define retention policy and that’s it. Promox drops backups of VMs automatically keeping the right amount of old versions. If you don’t want to split your services and you’re fine with just one VM I think you can easily go with pure debian. I did have some issues with proxmox (like failing network card, it required some fiddling) so it’s not “free”. There’s some extra work to get the benefits.
And I think having everything in one VM is also fine. I’m only splitting it because I want to have some things accessible from the internet. If not I would just use docker for everything.

Thanks. And, yeah I don’t have anything that needs to be accessible via the internet except plex, and plex handles that. Everything else, I’m fine with tailscale.
