I tried a lot of self-hosted solutions for my homelab. Pretty much all of them were very time consuming and had minor restrictions I did not want to have.
However, Proxmox provided a 'framework' that seemed superior:
- Having ZFS as a filesystem to easily revert to a previous state [1] [2]
- Makes possible using docker within an additional 'security layer' (LXC)
- Having easy integrated backup and restore
- Being scalable, if I had to
- Not focussing 'fancy new technologies' (k8s, etc.), but established ones (qemu, LXC)
