Setup my first home server today and fell for the Proxmox hype. My initial impressions was that Proxmox is obviously a super power OS for virtualization and I can definitely see its value for enterprises who have on prem infrastructure.

However for a home server use case it feels like peak over engineering unless you really need VMs. But otherwise a minimal Debian + docker setup IMO is the most optimal starting point.
