Debian 12 on ZFS

[Malig]

Hi,
Currently looking into converting to ZFS for replication and have HA for certain VMs. I currently run Proxmox 8 on Debian 12 and is running good. The next stage I am looking at is to install Debian 12 on ZFS on my 2nd server which only has one disk available currently, and then Proxmox 8. Is this possible, better performance and good stability ?
Regards,
Mike

Debian does not come with ZFS, so this looks both difficult and convoluted (by first installing Debian in an unsupported setup and then Proxmox). Why not install (the latest) Proxmox VE directly on the 2nd server?

Guess that does make more sense will look into it thanks

I've built myself some "Developer Workstations" = PVE plus a Desktop. Some hints can be found here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Developer_Workstations_with_Proxmox_VE_and_X11

Have fun
