ProxLB, install on one host or all hosts?

I am looking at the ProxLB package for my POC environment and I have one question: Do I install ProxLB on all the hosts, or just one of them?

It runs on a schedule or as a daemon, and I don't want to have multiple 'managers' fighting to balance VMs if I run it as a daemon.

I would interpret this as a single instance requirement.
Running ProxLB is straightforward and versatile, as it only requires Python3 and the proxmoxer library. This means ProxLB can be executed directly on a Proxmox node or on dedicated systems such as Debian, RedHat, or even FreeBSD, provided that the Proxmox API is accessible from the client running ProxLB. ProxLB can also run inside a Container - Docker or LXC - and is simply up to you.
