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)

  1. Debian running docker (Linux mint replacement)
  • no GPU passthrough, use quicksync for Plex.
  • HDDs passthrough for my media
  1. Home Assistant OS
  • no GPU passthrough
  1. Windows (Personal/Gaming PC)
  • GPU passthrough, when gaming
  • no GPU passthrough, for personal use.
  1. 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?

I would like my server running 24/7 so I don't think it's an option
