One with Arch that runs gameservers for my friends, and another that runs Proxmox filled with either Arch or Debian in the containers depending on what it is in them.

Ubuntu LTS because that's what I was most comfortable with at the time, now I'd really like to switch over to Debian but I'm not sure I can be bothered until I really have to, everything is working well at the moment. It's running in Proxmox.
Fedora
Windows Hyper-V Server on the host with most of the VM's split between Ubuntu and Debian. I also have two Windows VM's that I keep out of necessity.

Debian with Yunohost.
- XCP-ng on my virtualization host
- TrueNAS Core on my NAS
- Ubuntu Server on my Jellyfin media server
- Debian on my other server that I use for testing purposes
- DietPi on my Raspberry Pi
TrueNAS scale with truecharts for my main server. I'm considering rolling out a compute only server with openSUSE microOS to leave trueNAS only for storage. I like openSUSE philosophy and microOS with cockpit seems solid on my tests. I might start with some old laptops and deploy the ldap server there to test it and remove that responsability from TrueNAS.
Fedora Server
Mythbuntu. It started its life as a MythTV server.
A few actually.
Rocky Linux 9, XCP-NG, Windows server 2022 datacenter
Different usecasses.
Arch which is great, but I want to move to FreeBSD or Proxmox for security reasons
TrueNAS, and Debian
Ubuntu server w/ zfs on the main.
Have a little atom hp home server at my parents house that uses almost no power, that runs freebsd x86, zerotier one, and kopia. Free cloud backup 😁
Proxmox, Openmediavault, Ubuntu Server. Mostly because I'm lazy and I grew up using Ubuntu.
My setup consists of the following:
Unraid, most services I self host run in docker here. Things like plex/jellyfin, nextcloud, unifi could controller.
Proxmox, used to virtualize my pfsense after I moved away from my unifi USG router. A few Linux and Debian headless virtual machines run here as well. Had pihole virtualized here as well but switched over to pfBlockerNG to consolidate.
TrueNAS, all my media shares. I also sync my desktop environments here to have a consistent windows desktop across my desktops and laptops.
Home assistant running on home assistant yellow. Runs a few add-on services.
Arch for stuff I have physical access to. Nothing's ever gone wrong, so it's worth it for the immediate updates and consistency with my other systems. For VPS I use Debian though, occasionally the unstable/Sid branch if I really need the latest updates. There are almost always Debian images available on a VPS.
Fedora Server, with most of the services I need running via Docker.
I have several servers I’ve acquired over the years setup in a proxmox cluster
-
Alpine on Pi4.
-
LMDE on recycled AMD systems (phenoms, opterons, FM2 APUs, oh and a recently dead bulldozer fx-8150).
-
TrueNAS, OPNsense on dedicated hardware.
-
VMware ESXi on my older workstations (currently transitioning toward LXD/Incus and ~~XPG-ng~~ XCP-ng with Xen Orchestra).
You mean XCP-ng?
Yes, 😅. Thank you for letting me know.
I typed correctly I'm pretty sure, but typing it again now it autocorrects to "C - C - P" now 🫤. Even more confused.
I'll edit my original post.
hypervisor: proxmox
vms: rhel 9.2
