Hi all,

I'm looking to build my first homelab. I want to have a main "compute" node running proxmox, decently specced, but with no storage. I then want to use a fast storage solution for all of the VMs storage. So my compute node will be a miniITX with only a boot drive. A ChatGPT consult told me this sort of setup is called "diskless" or "stateless".

As far as I've researched, I'll need some sort of fast storage with 10Gbe (or thunderbolt?) like the asustor FLASHSTOR 12 Pro.

Questions:

  • Is this a dumb idea for a beginner?

  • Any recommendations for a entry level setup with maybe 2x M.2 NVMEs to start with (one for each VM)
