Bear with me because I don't know what I'm talking about and don't know the terminology so I will try to describe my situation and what I want to achieve:
My only internet access is through WiFi access points in my building. Bandwidth is limited per device connected (20down/20up), obviously devices can't see each other on the network. This is both a blessing and a curse (downloading/uploading stuff on 1 PC doesn't affect network performance on any other device but no local file sharing whatsoever). As such I don't have a wired network access. Good thing the WiFi is rock stable and costs me nothing but I don't have access to router configuration. I have no possibility of purchasing any private internet service, other than using LTE which coverage is non-existent in my area. The network is configured so if I connect to it with device A and then share that connection from device A to device B, only one of them will be getting access to the internet depending on which one is in use (if one is streaming video, the other won't be able to open even a webpage, and vice versa)
Currently I run several low power Dell miniPCs as servers for personal use. All my PCs are connected to switch so I can acces everything via wire but each machine has it's own internet through WiFi. To gain access to them from the outside via internet I use reverse-proxy services like localtonet and playit.gg (perhaps there's better way to do this but these are idiot-proof).
With that in mind. Is it possible to configure Proxmox and it's virtual machines to work on this janky network setup? Ideally I'd want to connect all miniPCs into one Proxmox cluster for shared resources, then run Jellyfin, Airsonic, BlueIRIS, trueNAS and couple game servers on them and be able to:
1) access everything via local network with no internet access
2) have each VM accessible from the internet
Bandwidth limitation is not a concern (these wouldn't be used simultaneously and game servers require very little bandwidth for amount of players I'm hosting for) but if there were some limitations in required setup, would it be possible to connect multiple WiFi adapters and assigning them to VMs?
Some of this might be stupid or obvious but I'm really biting more than I can chew here and I don't even know where to begin. I've installed Proxmox on one machine to play around with it and there doesn't seem to be an easy way for a normie like me to use it with WiFi and bridging the connection for VMs. Google doesn't give me any relevant results here, probably because there aren't any masochists out there trying to make such constraints work...
Does that make sense? Is it even possible?
