I just bought two Lenovo ThinkCentre M920x Tiny units with the following specs:

CPU: Core i3-8100 (3.6GHz)
RAM: 16GB DDR4
Storage: 256GB + 1TB SSD (added from my spares)

I also have a Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB RAM) with an M.2 HAT and a 128GB M.2 SSD.

The Plan:

I intend to install Proxmox VE on both Lenovos and set up an LXC on the Pi 5 to act as a QDevice. This will allow me to create a 3-node cluster (2 Proxmox nodes + 1 QDevice).

Currently, the Pi 5 is running several services in Debian 12 LXCs:

DNS: Pi-hole
Reverse Proxy: Traefik
VPN: Wireguard
Monitoring: Prometheus + Grafana
Access: Bastion (SSH for remote access)
Quorum: QDevice (coming soon)

What else should I run on these new servers? I’m open to any suggestions or ideas you might have!

Thanks!
