Over this summer I’ve really gotten into selfhosting. I currently have my old gaming rig running things like jellyfin, nextcloud, vaultwarden, arr stack and some other stuff, and a raspberry PI running pihole.

Everything is running on docker (except pihole which is bare metal) on ubuntu server, since I’m pretty comfortable doing things in a CLI.

I’ve heard alof of praise about Proxmox though and I’m looking for some opinions on whether it’s worth it to switch to it for long term? I don’t really VM (at least, I’ve not had any needs to) except for maybe giving Home assistant/PiKVM a shot.

Are there any other benefits (like maybe clustering or something) I’m not aware of? I’d love to hear some opinions.

Thanks in advance c:

    I gave Proxmox a shot a few months ago, but it seemed like overkill at least for my needs. Being more comfortable directly on Ubuntu Server with Docker met my needs so i went back to Ubuntu.
