I could easily google this but it's an excuse to chat here so here I am :)  I've seen a lot of articles showing up in my feed about how great proxmox is and I haven't been bothered to look too closely into it because what I have ain't broke, so why fix it?  

But I don't know what I don't know, so what I consider 'ain't broke' might look like chicken wire and duct tape compared to someones uber proxmox setup.  Currently I use docker compose to do my quick iteration with docker containers or stacks, and then move them over to portainer to be managed long term once they are in a good place.  For dev environments I user Coder, which makes use of terraform templates to manage and version control containers.

What's the benefit of proxmox in this mix over some of the stuff I'm using?  Where does it really shine?  

thanks
