Portainer on Debian or Proxmox? (lemmy.world)

Folks,

I have an Intel N5095 2 GHz box, with 16 GB RAM and 500 GB sitting below my desk. It's a teeny tiny box with no fan or anything.

I'm currently running Debian server on it with Portainer on top to run some *arr services. I'm thinking of running some more. But the device seems to groan under the weight of the services already running.

Was just watching a video about proxmox, and it seems to be a better solution if I don't need to run Portainer on top of an OS. Maybe it'll be lower resource usage?

So, thoughts? Should I change it up from Debian to proxmox? Or should I stick to what is already running? I am running Debian because I read somewhere that it's the lowest resource hog of all Linux server options.

Alternatively, should I stick to Debian and portainer but use it with something like podman as it might use less resources than docker-ce?

I installed a thing called lm-sensors on debian and it shows me this during a time when the box is struggling -

Every 1.0s: sensors

coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Package id 0: +44.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 0: +38.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 1: +39.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 2: +39.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 3: +39.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

acpitz-acpi-0 Adapter: ACPI interface temp1: +0.0°C (crit = +119.0°C)

Seems to be working fine.

Unless the thermal throttling limits are set by the BIOS and I'll have to go looking into that by rebooting?

Resources also seemed ok - RAM was 2 GB used out of 16 and all the cores were at 10-15% usage, according to htop.

    Yeah, that all looks okay. Did you put the system under heavy load while checking/monitoring?
