I am new to Proxmox, first time installed yesterday and today and yesterday I have been playing aronud with this. So far I have tested to install to create couple of VM and couple of LXC and when I have played around enough I will create some plan how to start really implement services on my Proxmox.

So far I have installed Jellyfin on VM (didn't knew about community scripts yet) and I have passed external USB hard drive to that VM where is my movies.

Now I just installed Navidrome for test via LXC and since that hard disk is attached to my another virtual machine, I was starting to wonder how people normally do here this kind of stuff where you need to have multiple VM/container sharing same USB disk. What are normal practices so to speak.

- Do you have normally VM where is all services running what needs that disk?

- Do you have separated VM where you run file sharing services (like SMB/NFS/whatever), share the USB disk to that machine and all other machines use that hard drive through that server?

- Something else, what?

So shortly, I have just music and movies there and I could easily install both in same machine if needed, but just curious to know what people normally do in this kind of cases when you run Jellyfin and Navidrome or whatever you like?

As the title says, is there any known issues running Proxmox on  Lenovo ThinkCentre M720Q with 16 GB of RAM?

I noticed that a place where I almost always buy my IT stuff they are selling this machine used on 299 euros (256 GB disk + 16 GB RAM) and I was thinking that maybe I should upgrade my Raspberry Pi servers (Pi 3B + Pi 5) to this one.

Before I order it I am more keen about if this machine can run Proxmox. Note that I have never used Proxmox, so that's why I ask this question and it might be stupid question. Anyway, if somebody knows why that would be a bad machine for Proxmox (eg. known hardware compatibility issues or so) then please tell me so I don't waste my time and money 😄

I have glasses (I can't see far away without them) and I have been using Quest 3 VR and I have no any issues with using those with my glasses. Anyway, there seems to be different kind of views of if Xreal AR glass works with glasses or not, so I ask here.

What models and products of Xreal can be used on top of my normal glasses? I do not want to get lenses what are made for my eyesight since that will change anyway in years, so it would be better to have glasses what can be with current glasses.

Note that I do not care if it looks dork to use those since I normally use anyway this kind of stuff at home or when visiting to my mom's place. Is any of current models wearable with glasses without having issues them falling off from head, scratching the lens and so on?

I have tried to figure out how I could create an automation that is only run when it is friday and when sun is going to set down in 15 minutes.

I can find "When the sun sets offset by 00:15:00" and then send notification, but that way it would send it every day.

I have found that there is "Time" trigger what can be run on every day, but then I need to set fixed time when to run, but I want it to run on that sunset, not on fixed time.

There is also possibility to use "Value of a date/time helper or timestamp-class sensor", but there is no "Sunset" option.

So, what would be best way to do this? If possible then it would be best to read my current location on iPhone location, but it is not necessary as long it can check from my home location sunset time.

Any ideas?
