  • Rather than give you specific recommendations, here’s some guidance for parts

    Mobo: The more slots you have for RAM and storage, the better.

    CPU: literally anything. More cores and faster cores are ideal, but CPU requirements for these things are generally lower than a desktop.

    RAM: Buy 1 stick of the fastest and highest capacity RAM your motherboard can handle. When you’re ready or you start to see slowdown, buy another of the same stick. You can get far on 16-32GB, you won’t need much more until later.

    Storage: an SSD for the OS and one or more HDDs for storage.

    PSU: generally anything in the 500-700 range will be good. You’ll want more if you plan to put a GPU in, though.










  • So I have a 2TB nVME for VM Host Disks, and a 72TB RAID Array on my server. My hope is to have the OS and Docker on the 32GB drive I set up for the VM (which lives on the nVME), and then all the files related to the webapps live in a folder on RAID Array in a section meant just for that.

    But the other responses in this thread make me think that’s not really going to be an option. Maybe I could make a very large VM Host Disk and put it on the RAID Array, let Docker just forget about the mount points entirely…

    My Proxmox server is called ARCADE and each VM is named after a game. Currently we have:

    • SpyHunter (PiHole and WireGuard VPN)
    • Pacman (Ubuntu Server w/ Dashy, Syncthing, Portainer, and NextCloud inside Docker)
    • MsPacMan (Ubuntu server for failover purposes. Still under construction)
    • CrazyTaxi (Windows Desktop)
    • MissleCommand (Linux Desktop)
    • MonkeyIsland (qBitTorrent)
