Hi everyone, I’m planning to experiment with my first home server (jellyfin,nextcloud,bitwarden etc) running on a “old” Thinkcentre i5-7th. I’m thinking using proxmox in order to experiment with different configuration and I was wondering if it’s possible to have a single container/vr (with Libreelec) output HDMI to my TV, and keep other VM’s headless and controlled from another PC when needed.

Are there some particular setting or nwebie suggestion that could help me achieve that? Also, do you think proxmox is a good choice, or it’s better stick to a single debian/ubuntu server OS?

    Surprisingly this isnt actually needed. It makes it easier to setup, but isnt required beyond that (and some bios need one plugged in to boot but that won’t be an issue).

    My current setup is 2 nvidias both passed through to separate VMS, then I just use another PC to access the web console. My ideal setup would be a VM that launches itself when none else are running, to allow a graphical output even with the host headless
