New proxmox installation (Newbie)

[DanielPT]

Hi all

I have been running Hyper-v for a long time. But yesterday my server lost power.

Then my Home Assistant was messed up.

Now i want to try Proxmox instead.

But im no linux guy.

I have seen some videos on YT but i have some questions and sorry if this is totally newbie questions

1: i have about 30 - 40 GB SSD for my Proxmox and Home assistant for now.
Under the installation shall i choose ext4? I have some outher stuff on this SSD will that bee untoothed?

That is the first question for now
Thanks!
Regards Daniel

Proxmox installation (from official ISO) will remove all your current disk data so be warned. IMO 30-40GB is quite low for peace of mind using Proxmox + vms anyway...
Workaround is manually install debian based distro and install Proxmox feature manually on top of it. Doubt you'll manage to do it easily without any linux base knowledge.
