I settled on https://www.audiobookshelf.org Might be a bit confusing at first, but after setting it up, it does exactly what I want. Easy to listen to podcast on my iPhone, including setting speed & sleep timer and the server fetches the new episodes every day.

Well, I personally don't like stuff happening after the race. I rather have it during the race. But in your spirit of keeping it simple: if the stewards think a team has done something to evade punishment, they can consider the punishment not correctly served.

If it is Max I will be happy.

You’ll be fine. In the past stuff like ftp and sip could get confused by double nat, but not so much today. And stuff like opening a port from outside to the inside needs some planning through double nat.

We run it in the office for years now and it is totally fine. We are in a building with multiple companies sharing internet and we wanted our own network within, so we are using double nat (internet modem and our switch).

Netbox is ok, but I’m looking for something more visual.

Thanks, but I'm looking for something else. I know about draw.io, but it's just a drawing tool. I can use 10 different tools for that. I'm looking for something more advanced than that.

None. Just use everything in the VM’s. Yes that’s over committing, but who cares if the lead normally is reasonable and you can watch the ’summary’ in pm to see how the system is doing. Stop worrying, grab the proxmox iso and have fun

You would have 12 GB ram shared over all the dockers. I think you will be fine. Unless everything will be used intensively continuously. But that’s my opinion. Just give it a shot, nothing to loose. Promox itself does not take so much. So if it it does not run in this setup you need different hardware anyhow.

I don’t like the solution of running docker next to proxmox, not in a vm, you want proxmox to respond even if the docker vm is busy/overloaded.

In terms of backup you should be good. I would skip that weekly local backup construction, not sure what that adds if the off site backup is working reliable. I’ld format that one and add proxmox to it and make proper use of it (like a second docker vm)

Yeah, that will work fine! I've a similar setup and it works fine. 2 VM's for stuff that needs a VM and a bunch of docker containers in a separate VM.

And your Nginx will work fine in Docker. Set it up on a random port and route from the modem/router to that random port and from there to your VM, so something like 443 on modem goes to port 8443 on the ip of the VM running docker.

It also gives you the possibility to later on add a second server with Proxmox, put them both in a cluster so you can easily move one of your VM's to a second node.

Final advice is that Tuxis is offering 150GB of free Proxmox backup service. So you can use that for some important VM's to be stored off site for free (encrypted of course) with full support within your Proxmox environment to create or restore backups (or even restore some files from inside the VM). See https://www.tuxis.nl/en/ordering/?case=PBS and https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-backup-server/overview

Check the wa level in top, if it is high the system is waiting for hardware to process stuff. If it is high, check with atop of disks are red.

In such cases I almost always see some hardware but failing, networkcard or switch falling, harddisk/NFS stuff falling, memory falling. Hope this helps

you only have one job

So curious how all teams start the second half of the season! And there is a chance it's dry.
