@eldavi basically l wish to create a cloud ☁️ storage, something like GitHub and dropbox, where l can store a lot of data, including large sized video files, which l can access easily from anywhere and on any device. Proxmox would help me in this or no ?
I would worry about your bandwidth, network infrastructure, security and even electrical bill wayyy before your Linux choices.
Exposing your data and services are dangerous without domain knowledge. In terms of storage space and bandwidth, vps are wayy under charge. However, learning experience is also valuable. Have fun.
these goals are achievable without proxmox, but there's nothing wrong with using it; however it will give you a much steeper learning curve if you've never managed KVM/QEMU based virtual machines or software defined networking before.
why proxmox? how do you intend to use mx linux, casa os, and windows? do you intend to use multi-booting with proxmox or using the each os as a proxmox virtual machine?
@eldavi do you suppose using each of these os as a vm on Proxmox would be easier ?
Easier to install, but more difficult to manage if you want that cloud storage and git repo site and it will also cost you a Microsoft license for Windows
