Yeah I have decided to start off by getting that old pc up as a server to handle some of the items, then expand hardware when I hit constraints.

Thanks for the resource!

I’ve had some fun with portainer managing docker containers before, but Proxmox sounds like it takes it to the next level!

Great advice!

I have decided to go with just the new hdd as you’ve suggested to get that pc up and going again. I’ve used portainer to manage docker containers in the past when running it as a game server, but always assumed Proxmox fulfilled the same niche. Now that I understand it better it sounds like a lot of fun to play around with!

Hahah, yeah re-reading it I can see where you’re coming from. I probably should have been clearer on only the first three being ones I want to get going first. Everything else can come later.

Edit: and the penny just dropped you were making a pun… 😅
