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 😊

    I travel internationally and some of the countries In been to have been blocking my wireguard tunnel back home preventing me from accessing my vault. I tried setting it up with shadowsocks and broke my entire setup so I ended up resetting it.

    Any suggestions that is not tailscale?

      I find setting up an openvpn server with self-signed certificates + username and password login works well. You can even run it on tcp/443 instead of tcp/1194 if you want to make it less likely to be blocked.
