Oh, that sounds like a fun project! Going to post it to Lemmy when you’re done? I’m not familiar with proxmox. I see it’s based on Debian, is it basically an os specifically for running vm instances or something?

I like the look of that generation Optiplex. My current main PC is a slightly upgraded XPS 8930, which is IMO one of the ugliest Dell cases. And the airflow has been a terrible challenge. But since it’s not a standard board, I can’t just pop it in a better case. And there’s no way im buying a new mobo for an LGA 1151. So, I’m stuck until I build something new.
