I put together a few steps I go through and checks I make before I start moving real workloads over to a new Proxmox host in the home lab. In the post we take a look at what I think are several important steps and areas, including hostname and DNS configuration, update repositories, and storage health. But we also look at the networking side with speed tests and MTU checks, VM hardware defaults, backups, etc. Also, outside of Proxmox settings themselves, there are checks you need to make in the BIOS to make sure your mini PC or other home lab server is ready to accept new virtualization workloads.
