    In this video, I walk through how to run Docker on Proxmox the right way and avoid the common mistakes that can break your home lab setup. Proxmox is an amazing virtualization platform, and Docker remains the go-to for running containerized apps. But combining the two takes a little planning. I’ll show you the best practices for running Docker inside Proxmox using virtual machines or LXC containers, explain why you should avoid installing Docker directly on the Proxmox host, and share my recommended settings for networking, storage, and backups.

    I Ran Proxmox and VMware Side by Side for a Year (What Surprised Me Most)

    I spent an entire year running Proxmox and VMware side by side in my home lab, fully expecting VMware to come out on top. VMware had always been my default hypervisor both professionally and personally, but after Broadcom’s changes and the growing friction around hardware support and licensing, I decided to give Proxmox a serious long-term test. In this video, I walk through what surprised me after a year of real-world use. I looked at stability, hardware compatibility, the web interface, centralized management with Proxmox Datacenter Manager, community momentum, backups, storage, containers, Kubernetes, and much more. Check out what surprised me!

    Things I Stopped Self-Hosting (And Why Cloud Won in My Home Lab)

    In this video, I share the real-world services I stopped self-hosting in my home lab and we look at why cloud or managed solutions ultimately made more sense for me for certain services in particular. For years, my default answer was to self-host everything, and while that mindset taught me a ton about networking, DNS, storage, security, and virtualization, I eventually realized that not every service is worth the operational overhead. I walk through why I moved away from self-hosted email, public DNS, remote access gateways, push notifications, and password managers, and how stress, time, and reliability became the deciding factors.
