Hi everyone,

I am quite new to the selfhosted world (but I have been hosting a plex
server on a synology ds713+ since it came out). I wanted to get some
feedback on my plans.

I recently built a Louqe Ghost S1 mini  pc(i5 13600)

I just bought a Dell Optiplex 3060 (i5 8500T ,32 gb ram, 256 gb)

I still have my synology ds713+ (raid 1   2x 4TB HDD)

As my synology is old. I want to remove as much services from it as
possible and mainly use it for storage.

My plan is to use my Louqe only when I need it (power consumption).

I want to run Proxmox VE on my Optiplex running the following services
to start:

* Home assistant vm
* Ubuntu vm
   *  Plex server
* LXC containers
   * Unifi controller
   * Paperless ngx
   * Pi-hole
   * Mealie?
   * watchtower? or is this only for docker?
   * Bitwarden

storage for my plex server and paperless I want to keep on the
synology.

Should I run docker containers in a ubuntu vm instead of LXC
containers?

Almost all of my docker stuff runs inside an lxc container, and it
works great! Only thing I’ve had trouble with is getting smb shares
from the NAS to mount properly inside containers. Though, you may find
a workaround I haven’t.
