So I'm a (new) fan of proxmox as well - long time ESXi advocate, but I'll admit that I think if I was given a choice, I'd probably choose proxmox.

I have a DeskPi Super6C with 6 x Raspberry Pis CM5's in it.

I did go down the path of getting ESXi on the CM5 - but sadly, it didnt recognise the NVE drives - or the eMMC for that matter. With broadcom taking over, not sure if they were going to continue the innovation around arm, Pi's and edge devices.

So I'm now running a 6 node Proxmox cluster instead - using ceph. Works well, and apart from one of the CM5s going offline within days of it being set up, it hasnt missed a beat since. I think its been 2 months now.

I may drop 3 nodes, and play with kubernetes, since 3 of CM5s are mostly idle.

But as others have said, easy to install and use...
