Okay so, I was running just the standard Linux Mint on a PC downstairs - I was remoting in with teamviewer and it was getting slower and slower. I was given an old server machine, and I’ve put proxmox on it. I hate it. I haven’t a clue what I am doing, there isn’t any guidance and I just do not get it. Nothing is going to help me get it. I have spent 12 hours and all I have done is make a ZFS pool.
I just want to go back to being able to use linuxserver images but I also don’t want to go back to teamsviewing as it’s laggy as hell.
I’m tearing my hair out here!
Usually to control a Linux server, we use SSH.
You could try OpenMediaVault and then
with OMV-Extra you will be able to install docker and Portainer
which will give you a nice interface to deploy your docker image.
But sincerely Proxmox and ZFS are a great product
I went down the same rabbit hole. Going Pro just ends up taking so much time when you don’t already know what you are doing that just sticking to more “consumer” focused Software tends to be a worthwhile tradeoff.
I for example went from using headless ubuntu to UnRaid. UnRaid has a nice Docker interface and storage manager and a helpful community, no ZFS (yet) tho. It also handles VMs with a GUI to configure them.
