First and foremost, I want to thank you all for offering such guides and wealth of information, I lurked for some time and I decided to register and ask some questions here.
For now, I have a decision to make, I wanted a second opinion, as @Patrick so excitedly presented the TinyMiniMicro Guide.
I want a small, low power Proxmox dedicated machine, so that project just caught my attention. As a few Youtubers already shown, a Thincenter, Deskmini could be used as a small low powered Proxmox machine. Just to spin up some LXC, Dockers or Kubernetes and maybe some VMs for testing only.
On eBay, the STH effect is in full swing, prices went up. I am looking for a 7700T machine, as it has 4C/8T , much more suited for Proxmox.
The thing is..what I found simply are a bit out of my budget., 200-230€ tops.
On a local market I managed to find a used Hp EliteDesk 800 G3 with 6600T,8GB SSD250Gb for 180€ , shipped to my door.
Now, is this a viable option?
My plan is to upgrade the RAM down the road, and sell the 6600T and get the 6700T or 7700T. Is this even possible?
Now, I have a HP Proliant G8 Microserver, but I use it as a TrueNAS machine. I used it as a Proxmox baremetal server always on, now it is on just a few hours on a regular day, to sync all the data from my Synology DS220+.
Have I missed something here, did I take the wrong decision to run TrueNAS directly on hardware and not use the machine as Proxmox and have TrueNAS virtualized?
Hope that I managed to explain my situation with adding too much confusion. English is not may main language, just FYI.
Thanks in advance for your time and expertise.
Cheers!
