Wow I just realized that I’m not backing up any of my Proxmox vms Thanks for the reminder friend!
Arch. No Window Managers or Desktop Environments. Its easy to work with when no extra fluff is installed.
Debian
Debian Stable. Clean, easy, and reliable. Upgrades smoothly without drama.
Proxmox 4 lyf
Home Server: VMware ESXi NAS: Unraid
Debian, FreeBSD. Proxmox is awesome for hosting VMs, LXC, and Docker Containers (via a VM).
Debian. I use mostly docker containers and super easy to spin up and manage.
Debian, I wouldn’t pick another one.
Debian. All day, everyday.
Ubuntu LTS server. I chose it because it’s got good support both in community and enterprise support. Also it’s pretty simple to use and almost forgot it’s got zfs built in.
NixOS
this is the way
Seconding that, with declarative OCI configs.
If you’re looking for a NAS and don’t want to invest on all disks right now, unraid. Otherwise truenas
I use TrueNAS, mainly because I wanted a solid storage solution. I don’t really need many VMs, so I’m happy to run jails for stuff I need.
I also run a small RPi4 server with a few docker containers (a secondary Syncthing server, TVHeadend server, etc).
If I had a need for VMs, I’d run Proxmox (as I have some experience with it).
Big fan of Truenas core and jails!
Denian stable, openSUSE Leap
Yup, Debian is stable and rock solid for years
