I virtualized ESXi using Proxmox... and it works better than I expected
A bare-metal installation of ESXi gave me a lot of headache, so I virtualized it using Proxmox
Ever since I stepped into the home lab landscape with Proxmox, I’ve tinkered with multiple server-oriented distros, including the Xen-based XCP-ng, enterprise-grade Harvester, and even Unix-powered SmartOS. However, ESXi remained the only platform I never got to tinker with, as Broadcom had gotten rid of its free license by the time I bought some spare PCs to run VMware’s flagship virtualization platform.
