Being a noob and all I was wondering whats the real benefit of having a monolithic lets say proxmox instance with router, DNS, VPN but also home asssistant and NAS functionalitiy all in one server? I always thought dedicated devices are simpler to maintain or replace and some services are also more critical than others I guess?

    I’m no expert; only been dipping my toes in the selfhosted water for a few years.

    But my thought process would be all the main stuff on your main server and the redundant instances on a little backup
