Overview

Using Proxmox, I run multiple virtual machines and containers for development, testing, and automation. This setup maximizes hardware efficiency and provides a flexible, scalable lab environment for all my projects.

Key Features

• Multiple virtual machines for different services
• Linux Containers (LXC) for lightweight applications
• Snapshot and backup capabilities
• Centralized web-based management
• Containerized home lab services

Architecture

The virtualization platform uses a hypervisor-based approach with both full virtual machines and lightweight containers. VMs provide isolation for resource-intensive services, while LXCs offer a faster, more efficient solution for smaller workloads. Storage is handled through both local and network-attached solutions.

What It Enables

• Running multiple operating systems simultaneously
• Isolated testing environments
• Easy deployment of new services
• Resource allocation and limits per VM/container
• Snapshot and backup capabilities
• Hardware virtualization for learning
