Hi everone, basically what the title says. I am just starting my homelab and I am somewhat conflicted on whether I should run Opensense in Proxmox or should I buy a n100 device dedicated for it. What are some of the pros and cons of doind either or. So far in my research I have only come across articles/forum posts explaining how to run Opensense in Proxmox.

True but thats why you run a cluster with HA.

But it adds a lot of complications. Simplicity is usually best

Yeah I used to do a proxmox cluster but it's just so much more that can go wrong.
