About the machine, maybe put in something like 4-6 hard drives to also run a Nas on the same system. You will need to go into the terminal to passthrough the drives to the machine you use as Nas base system. Another thing great about proxmox: containers, they are essentially virtual machines using the kernel and core utils (things like cd, mv and cp) from the base system but 1 sandboxed and is smaller than a virtual machine. Also you can make a container based on templates for for example OpenVPN, wireguard and WordPress.
@@Studio3BRocks if there is one thing I recommend looking into it is containers. You can spin up a VPN server using like half of the resources a normal VM would use. They also let you download templates that are actually up to date compared to ISOs that are outdated (like missing a bunch of updates)
thats pretty neat. I currently run a pfSense server for firewall/router and vpn. I have a lot of computers around my desk: router, storage, windowspc, main computer and this other PVE. I havent figured out how to benefit from Proxmox yet. Windows GPU passthrough hasnt worked for me yet (i get error 43), and is sluggish. macOS is very slow. Linux runs well but I haven't seen the benefit over a full install. Maybe I'm not using it correctly.
@@Studio3BRocks about the GPU passthrough, you first need to disable the kernel driver in proxmox and then pass the PCIe device trough to the VM, for file servers you can pass entire disks trough (tough you have to do that from the command line) that it sees the entire disk (if you're using truenas on your Nas than you just pass trough the drives and you are able to adopt the zfs pool. Also you should make a new boot drive for the system (you can use the old one but that just gives a whole lot of headaches and isn't recommend since it's just a part of a disk instead of an entire disk) GPU passthrough is kinda annoying but doable, but if you don't need to, then don't...
@@imtiredtoday I got the command line stuff. I added a second gpu. The one for red hat works fine for plex. It’s the one for windows that gives me an error 43.

I can't wait to learn more...

Apparently proxmox is the new superior way to hackintosh and get hardware pass through
I have to dig in more
I haven't been able to successfully get iGpu passthrough and I'm waiting on a radeon graphics card to come in. My nvidias arent supported any more.
