Setting up a Proxmox cluster 2 nodes is common in homelab and production environments for small businesses with limited resources. Whether it’s due to budget limitations, power constraints, or simply a lack of space, adding a third physical node isn’t always feasible, especially for non-enterprise environments.
When I started building my home lab, choosing the right server was only half the story. The other half? Picking the best hypervisor. After all, it’s the hypervisor that actually runs your virtual machines—so it plays a huge role in how flexible, efficient, and manageable your home lab setup is.
If you’re just getting started with Proxmox or setting up a new virtual machine, one of the first things you’ll need to do is upload an ISO file for your operating system. Whether you’re installing Ubuntu, Windows, or another OS, Proxmox makes it easy to upload ISO images both through its web interface and the command line.
VLAN ID 4095 is a special VLAN used internally for network diagnostics and allows all VLAN tags to pass through in trunk mode. This guide covers how to configure VLAN ID 4095 on physical and virtual switches, and explains its role in maintaining optimal network performance.
Virtualization is a key part of modern IT infrastructure, whether you’re running enterprise workloads or managing a small business or even a homelab. When choosing a hypervisor, IT professionals often look for performance, scalability, licensing, and hardware support—all of which play a crucial role in long-term virtualization strategy.
