Shared to several places, let's hope the word gets out and we can support VMWare ESXi users looking for a welcoming community to migrate towards. Thanks Tom and the rest of the Proxmox team for putting in some hard work into making this community and product more welcoming to new users!

I am also a jilted VMWare user and just discovered Proxmax. Still reading through best practices for installing and migration (we have very small footprint, our lab <10 win & linux RHEL nodes plus 4 VM hosted via VMWare 6.6 on one DELL R720 (40 core, 512GB RAM). Could you suggest a good source to get info on same server hosting VMWare to host Proxmax and migration? Do we need an additional bare metal server, or in essence, where I could readup on different straregies. Thank you in advance!

Just reconfigure IP of your NIC in Windows. Note the reminder pop up when you save the IP.
