Hi everyone, I'm planning to experiment with my first home server (jellyfin,nextcloud,bitwarden etc) running on a "old" Thinkcentre i5-7th. I'm thinking using proxmox in order to experiment with different configuration and I was wondering if it's possible to have a single container/vr (with Libreelec) output HDMI to my TV, and keep other VM's headless and controlled from another PC when needed.

Are there some particular setting or nwebie suggestion that could help me achieve that? Also, do you think proxmox is a good choice, or it's better stick to a single debian/ubuntu server OS?

Just gonna add a bit here. I haven't used proxmox, but I do have a GPU I assign to QEMU/KVM virtual machines. The arch wiki has an article that helps a lot, for anyone who wishes to try this. I have also found that the virgl drivers allow for sufficient graphical performance for video decoding at high resolution, so that is another potential option to explore here that doesn't involve allocating the GPU to a VM.

I ran an Ubuntu server with qemu and virtmanager as my first set up, because I wanted to learn how it worked at the core rather than just learning the cut and paste of most proxmox tutorials. Ran it for about a year before I switched over to proxmox, brought all my VMs as well.
