I purchased a NUC with 32 GB memory, 512 SSD and AMD 8 core processor. I already have a NAS.

I was wondering how do you guys use NUC? My mostly workload are containers.

Do you install proxmox on NUC itself and run VMs

OR

Just install a Linux on NUC and use it as a docker host?

Suggestions please?

Appreciate your advice, thank you

You can run off docker compose + k3s for best of both worlds

docker compose for those services that are essential and you can replicate easily if you ever need to replace the NUC ( back up the files/folders to Git-something or whatever works as backup). It makes it way much easier to start everything that you need with a single command.

k3s because it is kubernetes and everything runs off k8s nowadays
