Hi everyone, I’m planning to experiment with my first home server (jellyfin,nextcloud,bitwarden etc) running on a “old” Thinkcentre i5-7th. I’m thinking using proxmox in order to experiment with different configuration and I was wondering if it’s possible to have a single container/vr (with Libreelec) output HDMI to my TV, and keep other VM’s headless and controlled from another PC when needed.
Are there some particular setting or nwebie suggestion that could help me achieve that? Also, do you think proxmox is a good choice, or it’s better stick to a single debian/ubuntu server OS?
What are you trying to display on the TV? I feel like most media can be handled better with something like PLEX rather than directly displaying it with an HDMI cord. Much easier to browse with a remote anyway.
If you want to see anything on a ‘dumb’ TV, at some point there’s going to be an HDMI cord involved. Sounds like OP wants his old computer to be both a home server and an HTPC. Personally, I’d just run qemu or docker on the HTPC, but there’s no reason he can’t run both plex and libreelec/kodi as vms or containers on the same machine.
