Proxmox is incredibly helpful especially for homelab beginners familiar with Linux. You can easily create and destroy various things as you learn. Only thing that's not so easy to use is storage in general : it's very difficult to truly understand the consequences of various choices and therefore it's kinda difficult to properly set up the backbone of a NAS unless you're fairly comfortable with zfs, lvm, lvm-thin, re-partitioning things, etc..
- radiowave 3y agoAnother handy feature of it is snapshots, very useful before trying out some modification.
- NelsonMinar 3y agoOne thing Proxmox is missing (IMHO) is a simple storage sharing system. I ended up just running the kernel NFS server on my Proxmox hypervisor, then sharing disks via a virtual-only LAN to the guest images. Other folks run an NFS server or a full NAS system in a VM under Proxmox. Proxmox' official solution for this is Ceph but that seems like overkill for a small home setup.
- Spivak 3y agoHyperconverged Ceph is both trivial to set up and amazing. Would highly highly recommend it, it makes everything so much easier when your VMs are backed by RBDs.
- dusanh 3y agoAny good tutorials for dummies like me?
- Spivak 3y agoI've followed the official one with good success. They do assume some familiarity with ceph but it's not too much. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Deploy_Hyper-Converged_Ceph_Cluster https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Deploy_Hyper-Converged_Ceph_Clu...
