First post. I'm want to build up a basic virtualization platform for use by myself and the rest of my development team for tooling and devops-"ish" type stuff; i.e., most definitely not production. For example, I'd like to develop a slackbot for scheduling some internal resources, and I need a place to run it. Likewise, I need a place to run a python webserver for some phone-home type stuff from other services. None of this stuff is production class, and if it goes down or is lost altogether that's fine.
My last company had vmware vcloud director, and I loved having a web console that allowed self-serviced provisioning. We're not doing vmware for this, so I figured I'd try out proxmox ve. For hardware, I planned on a single one of these (dual 2650's, 4tb) except with 128gb.
So I'd appreciate some feedback. I've never used proxmox, but I've seen its name a bunch. And I have no idea how I should setup the harddrives (4x1TB spinny disks). Would there be any problem using ext4? I'll admit I know next to nothing about linux filesystems.
Thanks everyone.
