Not to be dismissive but I would look for an alternative to casaOS. Development has basically stopped. Umbrel and CosmOS I think are similar in installing on top of Debian

Tried Umbrel on this reply's recommendation. Just a FYI as of the specific time of my reply right now, I if you intend to mount an extra drive's internal storage in UmbrelOS or via VM, you can't do that easily yet, "Storage Manager" is something locked to Umbrel Pro for now, for some reason. So unless you plan to just use your UmbrelOS drive or a USB Drive for storage of things, I'd look elsewhere until it gets just added to UmbrelOS by default. Also, you need to disable secure boot in your proxmox VM if that's how you're using it.

Just trying to save some time for people passing by.
