After a weekend of testing on a beater computer, I finally transitioned my media server over to ProxMox yesterday. It was a real trial to get the drives mounted to the VM correctly without erasing them, but an hour of googling got me to a working solution. Now that I’ve had a few hours to experience it all working correctly…

This thing is amazing. It gives me such a technology boner just to look at all the info it puts at your fingertips, plus I’m getting much better performance out of some programs after isolating them. Only complaint is the subscription pop up, but I’ll live.

So if you’ve been on the fence about making the switch like I was, I can definitely say you should do it. This is a ridiculously useful tool for any computer enthusiast.

I’m just in the middle of transitioning from my NAS with some docker containers on it and a stand-alone rpi4 with Home Assistant towards a single server with everything running on LXC/VMs. Synology has given me a headache about my docker setup + energy consumption and after testing for half a day I was sold on ProxMox. Plus there are a tons of tutorials available for basically anything you need!
