Hi. Since yesterday i selfhosted all my stuff with a raspberry pi and two odroids. Everything works ok, but after i read about a few apps that are not supported by the arm-architecture of the SBCs and about the advantages of the backup-solution in proxmox, i bought a little server (6500T/8GB/250GB) to try proxmox.

Installed proxmox, but now - before i install my first VM - i have a few questions:

a) What Linux OS do i take? Ubuntu Server?

b) Should it be headless?

The server is in the cellar of my house, so would there be any advantages of installing an OS with a GUI?

    For sure.

    My point was more … first time, ever, you boot a raw device, a display can be handy unless you know what you are doing. Once it survives a reboot…

    After that, if you need a GUI — just run an x windows server on your main rig; interact with your remote server as the client without the need of a display.
