I have a Proxmox cluster that hosts all my production websites, BBSes, and self-hosted thingies...

A Dell Poweredge r330 w/ 64GB RAM running all my VMs/LXC containers

A Dell Poweredge r320 w/ 144GB RAM running TrueNAS SCALE

A Raspberry Pi 4 w/ 8GB RAM as a quorum node only

The r330 has around 8TB of HDDs; 2 1TB SSDs for the OS / fast VMs and 6 1TB HDDs for storage

The r320 has 73TB; 1 x 1TB SSD for the OS and 4 x 18TB HDDs for storage

The RPi has a 16GB SD Card for Proxmox only

.... the quorum node just makes sure I always have a... quorum - regardless if either of the main systems have failures, my cluster can continue on and offer failover for both main nodes.

I love Proxmox and think its the best way to homelab in 2o24...
