Step-by-Step Guide: Installing and Configuring Proxmox on a Mini PC

Mini PC dual LAN have a bigger advantages?

Good video 👍

I'm stuck at "Create LVs" for 15min now...

This was an amazing video. I am very thankful that you went step by step and explained what you were doing. Some folks skip over steps that the deem too "basic", but I was able to follow along and understand nearly everything.

Thank you!

I didn't even realize it came with an empty SATA slot, lol. That along with that fact that I can upgrade to a 32gb DDR4 stick make this lil guy pretty impressive for $160.

I'm not sure if you are aware but apparently this machine is capable of using a single 32GB DDR4 SoDIMM. I picked up the same machine a few weeks back and have memory ( CMSX32GX4M1A3200C22 ) on order with Amazon (Due tomorrow). It's unfortunate that only single channel is supported but the extra memory will more than make up for it in ProxMox.

I'm on a rabbit hole of microserver on-premise for small businesses.
I'm wondering, is proxmox in this setup not web safe? I would like to not only expose a webserver locally, but to have also a webserver exposed to the internet with ddns. Might be even possible to expose the proxmox dashboard for remote support?
Man, do I love all of this. Proxmox seems like a game changer and I'm wondering if terraform and all that might be totally unnecesary.

Thank you for this video about the hardware installation. I did the same thing. Two questions:

1. Some forums suggest that Proxmox Host OS is enough to be installed on a slower drive like the 2.5" SSD and then use the NVME for the VMs. How are you using the partitions?
2. With the NVME that came with the preinstalled Windows, is there a way to extract it and use it, or is that just in case you are decommissioning this Proxmox host?

can you share your bios settings as on my device it failed to install proxmox (i use ssd what come with device if that may matter).
