- Comment on Looking to offload Plex from my gaming PC 1 week ago:
Personally I would do this
Find an old laptop, desktop, any computer
Put proxmox on it. It’s free and lightweight
Create a Plex LXC. Also free and lightweight. There are community scripts to do this.
You should get pretty good performance on Plex, you can manage the computer through a web browser and it only costs you whatever the cost of finding some hardware to put it on is
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 1 year ago:
This reminds me of a question I saw a couple years ago. It was basically why would you stick with bare metal over running Proxmox with a single VM.
It kinda stuck with me and since then I’ve reimaged some of my bare metal servers with exactly that. It just makes backup and restore/snapshots so much easier. It’s also really convenient to have a web interface to manage the computer
Probably doesn’t work for everyone but it works for me
