I am running on Lemmy-Easy-Deploy but it seems to be abandoned. How do you have yours set up?

Oh I didn’t know about this either. Thanks! About to set that up right now!

Now this is something I’m interested in! I think I’m going to pick up that 3040 to set up and play around with since it’s so cheap. The i5-6500 should handle it well enough, right?

Never mind. I see now that Proxmox is a type 1 hypervisor now.

To be completely honest, I’m familiar enough with all of this to get myself in trouble and work my way back out of it and that’s about it.

I was only trying to get away from the VM because if I’m away and the PiHole craps out, I can tell my wife “hold down the power button and reset the 3040” as opposed to trying to walk her through the VM setups.

I’ve got Windows set up to log back in upon reboots (Windows updates and whatnot), then start up Plex, arrs, etc. But I couldn’t get the VMWare VM to turn on automatically.

What prompted all of this was the 8 GB SD filling to 100% and freezing up my PiHole, blocking internet access due to the DNS server being down.

So… I was trying to knock out both of those issues with the separate - PiHole and wife, restarts and VMs.

But you’re saying I can get Proxmox running on the 3070 I already have (i5-9500T, 32 GB RAM, W11 Pro) and have it auto start and run everything?

 

I’ve done a little bit of searching but everything that comes up is about moving vm to vm hosts. I am currently running PiHole and Tailscale on a Pi Zero W 1.1 but it’s hammering the CPU (I assume Tailscale). I also have an always-on Windows Optiplex 3070 that’s running HomeAssistant on a VMWare vm. I found a $65 Optiplex 3040 that I’m planning to install Linux on and merge the Zero W and the VM to the Linux box but would like some guidance on whether it’s possible to move the VM to a boot drive. I’m not too concerned about losing the PiHole setup. I just wiped everything and started fresh yesterday (in an attempt to solve the CPU issue).
