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 😊

    Replace cgit with Forgejo. I really like the software from Jason, but Forgejo is a huge difference

      Only reason I am thinking cgit is because I want a simple interface to show repos and commit history, not interested in doing pull requests, opening issues, etc…

      I feel Forgejo would be “killing an ant with a sledgehammer” kinda situation for my needs.

      Nonetheless, thank you for your suggestion.
