  • and no I didn’t.

    This is not a complete sentence and you failed to capitalize the first letter.

    fix your typo

    You failed to capitalize the first letter here as well.

    while misusing your language

    You also failed to add punctuation to the end of this sentence.

    Everyone makes mistakes. I know I certainly do. I probably made a few in this comment. It was probably a mistake to even type this comment out, but I just wanted to point this all out.






  • I totally missed that you have an uncontainerized service. Can you run the service directly on the hardware host (safely)? If so, here’s how I would probably run it considering your memory constraints:

    1. Install Debian
    2. Set up the uncontainerized service directly on the host.
    3. Install Docker directly on the host as well.
    4. Spin up the containers for everything else.

    Not the cleanest/most separated answer but it would reduce the memory load of additional layers of host/VM/containers. If this isn’t storing any sensitive data or being directly exposed to the internet that should be fine.

    If you are dealing with sensitive data or exposing to the internet, I would consider your original plan of Proxmox VMs to separate everything but see if you can add additional RAM to help. Also consider installing something like fail2ban on every host and VM.

    In your scenario I don’t think I’d use Proxmox as you’re going to run into issues with lack of RAM. I think you’re going to have issues running out of memory either way though. Running the whole machine as a Docker node would probably be more memory-efficient than having the overhead of running separate VMs under Proxmox.

    NGINX should run fine as a container. There’s even an official build available on Docker Hub.



  • Speaking from experience here. I’ve done this on over a dozen different computers with zero issues over a three month span. It was part of a proposal for transitioning our company computers to Windows 11 while cutting out the junk. None of them had any problems running without Xbox services, Cortana, bloatware games, activity tracking, etc.

    We ended up using Microsoft Intune for restricting Windows 10/11 to our standards. But that’s not really available for consumers and debloaters are safe to use instead.
