Hey guys!

I have recently joined the selfhosting world after many years of thinking about it. Currently running casaOS with an assortment of containers. Mainly use nextcloud, paperlessNGX, and general file storage.

I am thinking of creating a proxmox cluster. Just wanted to ask for those who do. Is it worth it? And what services are you guys running?

I was thinking of using it for NAS, and a window VM and run other random things that I don’t know yet.

Looking into grabbing some Lenovo M715q. Found a decent deal.

Thank you all in advance.

    Man, I wish I could find a good colo solution that wouldn’t kill me with fees. VPS isn’t bad cost-wise, but I’d really like to be able to throw as much hardware as I want at it without paying $1k/mo.

      I use Dacentec, their colo prices are really reasonable and start @ $40/month, it is well worth it when you have your own hardware and you can load whatever you want in it. I’ve had no issues with uptime or stability either.

        Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely check them out. You can fit quite a bit of compute in 1U these days. And $40/mo is far more decently priced than other colo solutions I’ve seen on the west coast.
