You really should have different physical hardware for such different use-cases.
Why? I find having a single capable hypervisor hosting VMs far more reliable than a bunch of smaller machines.

Yeah, all done as blind execution of remote code. Bleh.
yes, but come on: you download it and quickly check yourself
The actual scripts: https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox After poking at a couple of these, they seem like they're 50% shiny packaging and 50% one-liner bash commands.

I'm pretty sure you turn the faucet on, and expect drinkable water to come out, without thinking of what's going on between the source of the water and your sink.
Yet, anyone, given the right motivation, can use and learn all those pieces and parts, and make use of them at whatever competency level they have. You can even make a soccer goal net with PVC.
There is room (and need) in the world for all people to explore, geek out, and use these details. And the people who are passionate about these details, and the intermediate pieces should be cherished, because they are the ones that will understand and fix the intermediary pieces when they break.
Sometimes, making money is not the goal.
It's working so well I now have too many vms and need to get a bigger disk.

I don't see anything on cloud-init (did I miss some link?) while it works perfectly in Proxmox, see https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cloud-Init_Support
Although its supported, its not well documented enough to be a good way to learn about cloud-init in my experience. I tried configuring a K3's cluster across three proxmox nodes via cloud-init to get some exposure to it and eventually gave up and just configured them manually
Have a look at this script for example https://github.com/francescor/swarm/blob/main/create_swarm_v... which is the "proxmox" side of cloud-init, that then load an ordinary cloud-init https://github.com/francescor/swarm/blob/main/cloud-init/clo...
Slightly off topic: I’m setting up a home server on a Mini PC that has Windows 11 Pro pre-installed. I want to attach it to my TV and play retro games as well as run home automation tasks (periodic scripts, UniFi controller, Pihole etc) Is anyone using Proxmox on their homelabs? Would you recommend blowing away Windows and installing Proxmox and then install Windows with PCIE passthrough?
If the pc is beefy enough (win 11 pro runs smoothly) just go with the included hyper-v. Imho you don’t get any benefits installing proxmox on bare metal in this scenario. YMMV of course
Why proxmox and not simply using libvirt? I am very happy with kvm, but always looking to make my life better.

Using cloudinit in proxmox is godsend. I can spin up a fresh linux vm and login with my ssh key (and ansible) in less than a minute.
I try to do everything without Ansible: cloud-init is pretty powerful, too, but I am reaching the 64k limit, so sooner then later will go "back" to Ansible.
