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 😊
A fresh Debian container uses 22 MiB of RAM. A fresh debian VM uses 200+ MiB of RAM.
A VM has to translate every single hardware interaction, a container doesn’t.
I don’t want to fuck flies about the definition of ‘huge’ with you, but that’s kind of a huge difference.
Translate? You know that a CPU sits idle most of the time right?
What kind of potato are you running? Also, how many hundred services do you run on it anyway, complaining about 200mb. You better off running docker on baremetal, if you are that worried.
Do you know how much RAM Windows 11 uses on idle?
WTF
