  • Some concerns:

    • get multiple smaller harddrives and put them into some kind of RAID / zpool with redundancy. the drives will fail.
    • there is absolutely zero reason to have a VM per service when a container will do. There are no advantages. But VMs will take significantly more resources and be harder to right-size. There is no restore/backup advantage using VMs.
    • for that reason there is also no reason to use proxmox in the first place, unless you want to learn proxmox. Truenas scale for example comes with pre-installed k3s.
    • I would get a separate hardware firewall because it makes easier to expand the network later.













  • Here is how I would diagnose (I’m assuming you have Linux / WSL on a client)

    1. Check the DNS record is actually set (yes do it again)
    2. Do these steps on the client:
    3. dig $domain check which server answered
    4. dig a $domain should give a record
    5. dig a $domain @server to make sure you’re querying the right server

    If none work, probably network issue (DNS boind to wrong IP, firewall, etc)

    If 3 and 5 work but 4 doesn’t, your DNS isn’t authorative.

    If only 5 works DNS settings on the client is wrong.
