Quiet - The less fan noise the better.I prefer a prebuilt solution, but a bare-bones package where I’m adding RAM and disk would be fine too. More build, less buy - I’ve built my fair share of computers, but I’d rather not search for each and every component for this.At least four cores - I like to run multiple VMs and containers, and I’d like to have the cores my VMs will want.Consumer-grade hardware - I’m not against server-grade hardware like ECC RAM, but for my needs and budget, I tend to lean towards consumer hardware that is easier to source.This article is titled small form factor, but really I prefer ultra-small form factor. You can see a picture of my rack below :). Very small footprint - I’d like this server to fit on my server “rack” next to my current Proxmox-powered NUC server.I’m primarily using my own criteria for these selections which are: Criteria for good small form factor Proxmox hardwareįirst, let me say that these options are geared towards home lab users, not business users. How many VMs do you plan to run? How power-hungry are the VMs? Do you plan to use external storage? You’ll need the answer to these questions before deciding on your own personal requirements. The real requirements are really based on your needs.
Intel VT/AMD-V capable CPU/Mainboard (for KVM Full Virtualization support).The minimum hardware requirements for Proxmox are easy to achieve: Read my disclosures for more information.

I run virtual machines that run Home Assistant, file servers, Docker containers like MQTT, Graylog, the Omada access point controller (for my TP-Link access points), and more. Proxmox supports various storage models, automatic scaling, failover, snapshots, backups, and many other popular virtualization features. It can run as a single node or in a cluster. It integrates the KVM hypervisor and LXC container solutions and provides a web-based front end for managing them. Proxmox VE, which I generally refer to as just Proxmox in this article, is an open-source virtualization management solution.
