    What's the experience with using Proxmox as host for development workstations?

    Hi everyone, I'm hosting multiple different Linux and Windows VMs at some server using Proxmox with ZFS and stuff and REALLY like it.

    Does the graphical installer support advanced ZFS setups for VDEVs and SPAREs?

    Hi everyone, I'm planning to setup a new server containing 8 HDDs, of which 2 will be used as SPARE and 6 to create 3 RAID1 VDEVs added to one and the same pool in the end.

    How to properly configure encrypted ZFS storage only?

    I'm setting up Proxmox 6.4 with most storage being ZFS RAID1 by simply using the options in the graphical installer. Some GiB of the available space are left for SWAP using MDRAID, because it's advised to not put SWAP into ZFS yet. The goal is to host mainly VMs and most of those need to be...
