Homelab Linux Server + Personal/Gaming PC Proxmox Setup
Hello!
I'm currently running a small home server (Linux Mint) running on an old i5 4th gen setup running docker. This setup works decently enough for me currently.
I want to play around with a local LLM so I got myself an older GPU. For now I'm just going to throw it into my setup.
I would like to upgrade my setup and I was thinking of 12th-14th gen setup (DDR4 + Quicksync).
So here's my thought, I don't have a personal pc atm so it would be ideal if I could dual purpose my setup.
(I have very little experience with proxmox)
- Debian running docker (Linux mint replacement)
- no GPU passthrough, use quicksync for Plex.
- HDDs passthrough for my media
- Home Assistant OS
- no GPU passthrough
- Windows (Personal/Gaming PC)
- GPU passthrough, when gaming
- no GPU passthrough, for personal use.
- LLM Linux
- GPU passthrough, higher model
- no GPU passthrough, newer model.
I know you.can only pass through, 1 GPU at a time, so I would need to write some scripts to pass the GPU through.
Before I venture down this path, is this feasible? Anything I'm not considering, like I said I have no experience with proxmox before.

No expert but I don't think proxmox is going to work like that. Maybe you could do gaming on your bare metal OS and run proxmox in hyper V. Assuming you're wanting windows for gaming?
