Thanks to the author who took the time to write up his/her experience with this way of working. My macbook pro 2015 struggles to keep up with docker, pycharm, zoom, outlook, and slack during the workday. Maybe it is time to burn a weekend to trying out a setup like this.

This is exactly how I found myself building a homelab! I first upgraded the SSD in my MBP-2015 and that gave me a bit of relief, but I soon started running into RAM limits and swapping. So I bought a beefier NUC (Ghost Canyon) and run ProxMox on it. I setup a NFS server in an LXC container, and then a typical VM for development[1]. In all it took me a couple of weekends to really get things dialed in nicely. ProxMox is great, I really love that I can provision and throw away instances quickly! It makes for less variance in trying to establish what made thing X work suddenly. [1]: I need kernel modules and the guest to have access to USB for my dev

  Do you do remote desktop or an vscode-remote-over-ssh equivalent?

    I've recently gone back to vim in tmux on the remote host over SSH. I had good success with using vscode-remote-over-ssh too.
