Just musing out loud, but I'm sure there is a market for a set of OOTB Proxmox configurations. A "small office" set up with Nextcloud, email (Proxmox Email obviously ;-)), Samba, networking software, Zabbix etc. A "home server" one with Nextcloud, bookmarking, Zabbix etc.
(Yes, these are really all arguably better as LXC templates. Yes, choice paralysis is a real thing.)
My point is that I am sure a whole bunch of people install Proxmox but are then faced with "now what?". This seems like a missing gap which would get a lot more people on the "on ramp" to Proxmox.
To be blunt, I suspect this will have more effect as a marketing solution (getting people aware of, and using Proxmox) than a longer term solution as most people will want to start from scratch eventually, and that's fine. The point is more people are likely to try the "office in a box" or "home server in a box" than simply Proxmox.
Proxmox has solved, elegantly, the "get a hypervisor running". Does it need to solve the "I need a packaged solution" too?
What are your musings?
