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 😊

Self-hosting be like ^^

I think I had issues similar to that. Perhaps the PiHole is running a conflicting DHCP server? I have my own set of weird issues.. Bad connectivity so I need a WiFi range extender, but it's not a true extender and has its own IP address, acting as a router sometimes and not forwarding DNS queries to the main router.. That, a lack of NAT loopback functionality, a lack of changeable DNS settings and the AdGuard Home apparently taking precedent in that side of the house, and I have a cocktail of connection issue bs lol. The main router can DNS perfectly fine, but if I'm connected to the extender I have to add DNS rewrites to AGH.. which works for most services..

The journey is largely about overcoming obstacles aha, and the reward for doing so.. Hope yours goes well!
