- Join me as I walk through setting up a low-powered Proxmox server on a ZimaBlade - the perfect compact homelab! See how to configure storage, download templates, and get ready for future virtualization projects.
I've been wanting to make this video for a while but kept getting ahead of myself with other ideas. So here's the process I go through to set up Proxmox on a ZimaBlade!
This is the first video in the "Proxmox Setup in 2024" playlist:

Thank you
Looking forward to this series. Thanks
Hope you enjoy it!
Nice video :-)
btw there's an even easier way to add container templates to proxmox with the Proxmox UI. Just go to your local storage CT Templates folder and click the Templates button. Then select the lxc template you want and click the Download button 😃
Thanks for the tip!
Would love to know in upcoming videos the power consumption on idle and full load!
Great suggestion!
Great Video!
Thanks so much!! Thanks for the watch and comment!!
nice !! i installed true nas scale on mine. considering if i should change it to proxmox and run a true nas scale vm
Thank you.
Thanks for watching and commenting all the time. Really appreciate you!!
hehehe this is exactly what I did to mine when I got it. Blew away the casa OS and then installed proxmox with the intent of running pfsense. However things have changed, but neat little travel server.
That's awesome!! I feel bad that I've been sitting on this for so long and haven't done anything with it. Thanks for the comment :)
Looking forward to see what you make on rhe zimabkade. And glad you look Ia lit better. Keep going. got the same setup but with a2 x 2tb hdd. I got a pci 128 gb m.2 and there i install proxmox. Un the 32 gb i have it as iso download for vm and lxc. I have already install webadmin and put my torrent download there, a second instance of pihole, nginx for the dns resolver name. Plannung on installing nut for my ups monitoring. And ansible to controll my proxmox cluster. Dont need it 24/7 ao iplan on turn it off at night. And have the zimablade controll that.
