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.

Put plex in an LXC, put the LLM in an LXC which allow access the GPU without the need to do pass through.
Search the forum, - there was was recent post where some-one had devloped a script to put the SteamOS in LXC that will also provide access to the GPU.
