Hi all. I've built and rebuilt Proxmox several times trying to figure out the best configuration for my needs.
This is going to be my homelab and cybersecurity training lab.
I have a main host with 24 cores, 128gb RAM, 256gb + 2tb nvme. And, if needed, I have a second host with 4 cores/32gb RAM, 256gb nvme + 512gb ssd. Finally, I have a 2tb and 8tb hdd.
I need to have about 6 "production" LXC/VM plus spin up several LXC's/VM's for virtual servers (linux and win64) as attack targets and virtual desktops. One "production" service needs to be sharing the 2tb hdd via SMB for user data files and the 8tb hdd for backup storage by anything that needs to be backed-up (production LXC/VM on Proxmox and both physical and virtual desktops).
Should I do everything on one Proxmox host, setup a cluster, or use the main machine for Proxmox and the the second machine with FreeNAS?
