Well it depend of what you want to do with it. Proxmox is an hypervisor so is job is to manage VM and in the case of proxmox also lxc container . So with proxmox you will be able to manage multiple machine with any OS that you would like and need. For lxc’ i’m pretty much new to it but if i can explain the difference with docker is that lxc are container at the kernel level and docker is at the software level. Also proxmox bring a lot of fonctionality with convenience like snapshot, firewall at the hypervisor level, backup of yours vms and containers, vlan and more . I know that some of it can also be emulate with docker but i find it easier to do with proxmox with the limited that i have to play around my local infrastructure.
If you want there’s a lot of tutorial and explaning about proxmox that are very interesting on YouTube i think it would be the best way to understand everything that proxmox could bring you and you will be able to make your own opinion on it.

Welcome in the rabbit hole of selfhosted enthousiast.


You will have to install proxmox on a computer ( that is an os you will have to create a bootable USB key for that ) here the website to check that out : https://proxmox.com/en/ And all my server are lxc, i launch all the lxc’s with those open source script : https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/

Just search for the jellyfin one ans the *arr that you think you will need .


Running jellyfin and *arr servers on promox running on a small form factor . For the tv i’m using a roku stick with jellyfin channel.


I 100% agree with you, thank you all


Mini forum computer look attracting but they do not ship to Canada saddly



I think it is because they are more expansive ? If i’m not wrong


Ok so will it use the Kernel of its host or it will have its own ?


I should also look for odroid they sound great to, but if I’m not mistaken they are running on a arm processor right?


I have to learn about lxc container, I’m use to docker container but lxc is a mystery for me haha. Thanks


If I’m not mistaken, proxmox does not support container right?


Why would I go with proxmox rather than only a ubuntu server with docker and portainer as front end?


I did not know about those, thank you


Well I’m aiming 800 and less.


Perfect I’ll check them, thanks for the suggestions


Nice, I’ll definitely watch the video thank. I hope it will help me a bit at least, let’s go down to the rabbit hole haha.


Cool, I will go check those processor for sure. Do you happen to know if there’s a small factor pc running with one of those processors?


This modele is looking, good but I would like a smaller size for the computer, I think dell call them tiny or micro form factor.


Options for low TDP small/nuc PC
Hi, I'm looking to buy a small computer to upgrade my setup for selfhosted servers. Right now I'm running containers directly on my qnap nas but I would like to migrate most of them on a dedicated server. I'm looking for something that could run docker with stuff like plex, arrr apps, Torrenring, wireguard, vault garden and more. I would like for that server to be very power efficient, something running with as low as 65w TDP or less and also I would like it to be a small computer, something like beelink or Lenovo tiny form factor for example . I looked some small pc from Lenovo, Dell, hp and as I understood it is a bit messy with the power usage depending of the cpu. So I was wondering what would me options be here? Is there other people here who also wanted to run power efficient servers if yes what did you found?
