Why don't people like the audiobookshelf app?

You should be able to migrate most or all of your existing Hyper-V VMs to Proxmox, which would be relatively straight forward. My recommendation would be backing up everything to your TrueNAS (that has the dedicated HBA) then you can wipe your Windows boot drive and install Proxmox. Then you could start by migrating your TrueNAS VM over and passing it's HBA back to it.

Yeah I thought about this being the easiest way to do it. I just wasn't sure if TrueNAS would come back up and just recognize the disks and start working. I have backups of everything and I've tested restoral. I would prefer to not have to go the backup restoral route as it's more a scorched earth option. My other VMs I'm not really concerned about, it was mainly the NAS.

I don't really have any experience with PVE, but I want to learn. I've been learning about docker containers more recently, I like learning new tech so I'm all for it. My main PC has been running Linux for about 6 months now and I'm just trying to get away from Microsoft in general. Thanks for the info.

I was wondering if I could get some suggestions from the community about the best way to go about migrating from Windows Server on my homelab host to Proxmox.

Background: Currently running Server 2022 Datacenter on my host because that's what I was familiar with. Using Hyper-V to manage multiple VMs like HomeAssistant and TrueNAS among other things. I have multiple container apps running within TrueNAS. There's an HBA passed through Hyper-V to the TrueNAS VM that has all of my HDDs connected to it. I'm just looking to migrate away from anything Microsoft/Windows.

Way Forward: The only procedure that I could come up with in my head was moving everything off of the NAS to my personal PC if I have the space, or maybe multiple PCs in the house. Back up all of my configs. Install Proxmox on the host, build out the VMs again, then restore the configs and just hope everything works the same. Or, just backup my configs build the new VMs on proxmox, restore and hope the new TrueNAS VM sees the data on the HDDs? I don't know if that would work.

If someone has a better idea, I'd like to hear it. Is there any way to dual boot Proxmox on the host maybe and slowly migrate things 1 by 1? Can you convert the VMs from Hyper-V before I install Proxmox?

Thanks everyone!

Any recommendations for my Homepage setup or services to add/replace?

You could argue the 90s smelled like teen spirit too

I blame social media and algorithms. My teen son for the longest time was leaning further and further right due to the content he was getting served on YouTube. He was making disparaging comments about women and how stupid they are. My wife and I who lean left had to sit down and have a talk with him about what he was saying and videos that he was getting served by YouTube (that popular red pill girl, I can't remember her name and andrew tate among other red pill stuff). He's a pretty smart kid, once we showed him data and articles that directly proved all the things he was watching wrong, he started to come around. He's been careful to believe things that he sees or hears on the internet more now. Occasionally, he'll bring things to us that we have to double take and fact check to see if it's wrong.

My thoughts exactly, the right will eat this up and use this the rest of the race. Anyone who was on the edge for voting for him probably just made up their minds. They'll blame the left for this.

Update: annnd it begins...

NO position should ever be for life. It's ridiculous that we have 70/80/90 year olds running things forever until they die. They should retire and let the next generation take the reins. Age and term limits. Courts should not be able to be packed like this. Nothing should.

I'm still shocked to this day that police weren't mowing people down as they tried to force their way in. By not doing so, they basically said, "this is fine" IMO.

Anyone who did not successfully fight to keep their name out of the civil case could see their name become public -- including Epstein's victims, co-conspirators and innocent associates.

Well, this tells us that we probably won't see any notable people in the release then...
