I decided to convert my gaming rig into a virtualization server using proxmox.
status (2024-06-25) #
Everything is setup and working really well. I knew GPU passthrough was going to be challenging but I eventually got it to work after about 8-hours of trial-and-error.
Overall really excited about having a system and UI dedicated to virtualization. I plan on distro-hopping a lot more now that it's trivial for me to spin up new VMs.
I'll keep updating this post with more status updates.
Here's a pic of my rack:
