Proxmox

Defaults to port 8006. Given I access it from multiple machines, defaulting to 443 would be nice.

`iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8006`

Then use iptables-persistent to make that apply every time.

Unraid VM

Unraid needs a USB stick to boot from. Legacy advice on the Internet is that Proxmox won't boot a VM from a USB stick, but that's wrong with at least Proxmox V8. Config for VM

• q35 machine
• UEFI/OVMF
• No EFI disk
• Some GB of RAM
• Host CPU cores, 2 of them (the VM is tied to the USB stick anyway, so may as well tie it to the host cores)
• PCI passthrough - SATA controller

SATA controller was assigned to a resource mapping at the Datacenter level in the Proxmox UI tree, then made available for the PCI passthrough. Two USB sticks were also configured in resource mappings; one for the boot stick, and the other for temporary use in the Unraid array.

Media host VM

Tried q35 with PCI passthrough of the IGP
