I have three VMs on Proxmox VE:

1. OPNsense as a router/firewall for my whole network,
2. “Zeus” (god from Greek religion, I usually name VMs as gods from Greek religion) - VM with multiple Docker containers: Jellyfin, Plex, Nextcloud etc.
3. UniFi - VM with just UniFi Controller in a Docker container. I wanted to separate the UniFi controller and Zeus’ apps, so that’s why they’re two VMs.
4. Other VMs, I use Proxmox VE to spawn more VMs and test some solutions at work.

Hi

Sounds nice. I use a similar setup, only my server is a mini PC with 12gbs of RAM and 1TB msata. Instead of VMs I use Linux containers with ubuntu as base. Then I run full-fat applications like Wazuh, checkmk and docker containers. I tend to use one LXC per function. I even host my personal blog in this setup. No piercied firewall here for public facing services. I’m using clouflare tunnels and access.

I did similar a little over a year ago, I got tired of trying to justify things to keep my pi 3 in service. Had a ProxMox cluster of Intel NUCs running so just created lxc containers for everything I had on the pi. Now with HA!!
