Proxmox VE

Proxmox is the virtualization layer running on my Beelink EQR5. It allows me to split the hardware into various virtual machines and LXC containers, which is essential for keeping my homelab organized and isolated.

I particularly like how easy it is to manage LXC containers. For instance, I have a dedicated LXC for ollama where I can pass through the iGPU for better performance. It also hosts my Coolify instance, making it the foundation of my personal deployment pipeline.

Recently, I moved my entire primary development workflow to this Proxmox setup. By provisioning full dev VMs and nesting Docker inside LXC containers, I’ve successfully decoupled my development environment from my physical laptops. This means I can run long-lived AI agents and jump between machines without losing any context.
