I found just doing it the best for me. Start with proxmox hypervisor on some old pc. Start running a bunch of services. Some documentation mentions “heres how you set it up behind a reverse proxy”. “Hmm…whats that” is pretty much how i learned it.
Then compare with people in the homelab communities who are doing differently and find out why.
… i think i have this fork. We had only the long ones in rotation and then i discovered the rest of the set and put them in service. I prefer yhe short ones for balance reasons. Especially in an empty bowl.
