I'm new to homelabs, I used to run minecraft, immich and Home Assistant on my NUC pc.

But I recently moved Home Assistant to it's own cheap mini PC, formatted my NUC and installed Proxmox on it.

I'd like to run Nextcloud, Immich, Minecraf etc. on my Mini-PC (N97 - 16GB ram - 512GB SSD) I'll possibly add TrueNAS later, but would need to upgrade the storage/hardware.

I'm trying to figure out where to start, and looking for guides and good ideas.

Thanks that makes a lot of sense. Would you recommend running it all on one VM, or different LXC's to have good separation?

Also thanks for the community recommendation, next time I'll post to selfhosted

Here's their documentation which says they recommend Docker in a VM for better isolation from the host system. https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#chapter_pct

It's up to you how many VM's you use, but 16GB of RAM is a limiting factor.

Thanks I'm reading it now.

Yea my mini PC isn't future proof, but it's enough for now and playing around.

I'll upgrade it when needed.
