Getting Started with Proxmox (piefed.social)

Hello everyone,

I finally managed to get my hands on a Beelink EQ 14 to upgrade from the RPi running DietPi that I have been using for many years to host my services.

I have always was interested in using Proxmox and today is the day. Only problem is I am not sure where to start. For example, do you guys spin up a VM for every service you intend to run? Do you set it up as ext4, btrfs, or zfs? Do you attach external HDD/SSD to expand your storage (beyond the 2 PCIe slots in the Beelink in this example).

I’ve only started reading up on Proxmox just today so I am by no means knowledgeable on the topic

I hope to hear how you guys setup yours and how you use it in terms of hosting all your services (nextcloud, vaultwarden, cgit, pihole, unbound, etc…) and your ”Dos and Don’ts“

Thank you 😊

Yes! This.

I have one machine for network sharing storage and thus a user for login and r/w powers. The same storage is used by other machines to save the files, and so each autonomous user for CCTV and qBitTorrent needed to have the same UID as the Samba login, so each program had rw permissions.

And those containers had to be privileged iirc in order for each root (UID 0) to access the shared storage properly. I may be wrong though
