Hi everone, basically what the title says. I am just starting my homelab and I am somewhat conflicted on whether I should run Opensense in Proxmox or should I buy a n100 device dedicated for it. What are some of the pros and cons of doind either or. So far in my research I have only come across articles/forum posts explaining how to run Opensense in Proxmox.
Pros: less physical hardware to deal with. If you can set up to where your VM can move across proxmox nudes, that improves resilience.
Cons: if you can’t fail over, you could get to where you need to fuss with the box where the Opnsense VM lives and have to also take down Opnsense.
No judgement here, you just keep doing what makes you happy.
Thank you for your response, I’ll keep your poniters in mind when ultimately making my decision.
