What operating system do you use for your home server? I’m planning to do unraid but what are the other options and why would you pick one or another? (alien.top)

How is proxmox with unraid? I am looking to migrate over to that setup but am worried about how complex it'll get.

    It's fantastic, though I should add that my Proxmox and Unraid are separate hardware, as with my Raspberry-Pi DNS Servers and Proxmox backup machine.
    After started with Unraid a little over a year ago, this motivated me to move to a real hypervisor Unraid can virtualize, dockerize, etc, but has far too many drawbacks to justify the hardware commitments, though it was an excellent starting point.
    Add to this, a (custom) DNS and SSL termination, and we well on our way to a proper home lab setup.
    It's worth mentioning that while there are people virtualizing Unraid on Proxmox, that the implications of inter-service dependencies were just not worth the hassles against diversifying backend services.
    Next up; UPS, pfSense (router), and forwarding DNS servers on a 10GbE backplane :D
