    Newbie - need recommendation on best way to install Proxmox, VMs, containers, etc.

    USB3 external raid-1 storage?

    I installed Proxmox on internal SSD inside my Dell 3020 Micro PC and I also install and run OpenMediaVault VM guest on the same internal SSD. As my host server is Dell 3020 Micro with USB3 port, I intend to attach a usb3 enclosure which supports Raid-1 on two 3.5" SATA drives. The external...

    Installing applications on native root?

    I have many applications which I usually run on a headless Debian server. Now I want to install them on my Proxmox server as native installation without using Lxc container. Is it possible? If so, any downside doing that way?
