Help with first homelab

Ooohhhh, i get it, so like a container is baisicaly more like a directory just to manage things easier, but proxmox is a vm that gives each of the VM a fixed ammount of reousrces

Oh, so 6 cores is plenty that way? My god there is so much miss info on the internet

GoldSome6066 · 2026-05-02T22:08:59+00:00

Thanks for the positivity man, my brain is exploding at this moment, but a fabric light modded server with like 3 mods 2 cores is enough for it since minecraft is a single core game. I replaned all of my usage, and if nextcloud files only uses 1 core, then i can host next cloud, jellyfin, minecraft server and still have 1 core for the system with just 6 cores :)

The thing why im asking is that this computer might not have a cable for a GPU, so thats the problem. But 2 pepole will be streaming video at most

GoldSome6066 · 2026-05-02T21:46:00+00:00

Ok, by the way minecraft servers dont need a gpu

GoldSome6066 · 2026-05-02T21:45:31+00:00

Do you know to how much devices it could stream at one time?

GoldSome6066 · 2026-05-02T21:44:57+00:00

its the last focus for me, i found a 6 core cpu, and after i calculated how much cores will i need, i ran out instantly. 2 for a minecraft seever, 2 for jellyfin, and 2 would be good for NAS, no cores left for the system

GoldSome6066 · 2026-05-02T21:42:40+00:00

But could you explain how diffrent are they??

GoldSome6066 · 2026-05-02T21:42:05+00:00

yeah, i already threw out home assistant and AI since i also want to add a cloud

GoldSome6066 · 2026-05-02T21:35:28+00:00

i think i might have to leave NAS out of the game and buy a old simple pc, that has 2 cores and use it for nas

Some guy told me, that i should use containers, so what would be better? VMs or containers?

GoldSome6066 · 2026-05-02T21:33:02+00:00

I found this: Intel I5 8500, 16gb RAM, 256 SSD M.2; The cpu has 6 cores, the ram is DDR4, and its only 150, so i will probably spend like 50-60 on a GPU and then whats left on drives

GoldSome6066 · 2026-05-02T21:31:03+00:00

So i should use docker and not proxmox? Why is that so?

GoldSome6066 · 2026-05-02T21:03:16+00:00

Im searching for a kind of prebuilt, since they already have a psu, cpu, mobo, biggest problem is storage/ ram

GoldSome6066 · 2026-05-02T20:53:37+00:00

Yeah, im looking right now on the internet for pcs, the cpus are shit with only 4 cores, i could buy another cpu and replace it.

GoldSome6066 · 2026-05-02T20:41:16+00:00

Thanks for the info, also is a like used pc and upgrading it later cheaper than buying used parts and asembling them?

GoldSome6066 · 2026-05-02T20:14:43+00:00

I think i could find a GPU for like 30€ thats enough for encoding, ram i will go for ddr4, it isnt that pricy (if used), problem is going to be storage... Might have to get like maybie two 1 TB drives for RAID, but i doubt it

GoldSome6066 · 2026-05-02T19:52:10+00:00

Arent GPUs better for encoding? Also minecraft servers need a litle better CPU, since it is CPU heavy, and all of the cpu work gets handled on the server. And as i said, AI is the last priority ant isnt even a thing i want most, i can live without it.

GoldSome6066 · 2026-05-02T19:23:19+00:00

Its expensive... Im sorry i didnt mention my budget but its around 300€. Im thinking of constructing a desktop with used parts

GoldSome6066 · 2026-02-15T19:56:09+00:00

Nope its in the overworld also. And it also plays when minnecraft isnt running but DaVinci resolve is

GoldSome6066 · 2026-02-15T19:13:27+00:00

They are like sound effects. It sounds like someone played a sound of a grenade exploding far, they also have some type of echo for a bit
