I see people having a small 8 gigs and 4 core system and trying to split that with something like proxmox into multiple VMs. I think that’s not the best way to utilise the resources.

As many services are mostly in ideal mode so in case something is running it should be possible to use the complete power of the machine.

My opinion is using docker and compose to manage things on the whole hardware level for smaller homelab.

Only split VMs for something critical, even decide on that if it’s required.

Do you agree?

    Some people play with VMs for fun, or as a leaning experience. I don’t think it’s very productive or useful to tell them they’re doing it wrong.
