I have been loving proxmox for years. Ran it my lab at work with semi
production workloads and at home.

The big suggestion I have is read up on lxc.

Proxmox uses kvm/qemu and you can do a great deal with this even if you
don't uses containers.

The biggest value I can add is use 2 drives if you can. Small one for
proxmox itself. And then a larger disk for vms. Separate space for isos and
templates is a huge benefit (local nas works here to if you have one.

Once you install poke around and make a mess. It will help you decide how
you want it. (I reinstalled right after I set it up the first time because
I really made some decisions that did not jive well with how proxmox does
its thing.
