I turned my last two gaming PCs into Proxmox hosts and I have a Hetzner vps that will host something eventually.
2010 Gaming PC:
Pihole is running on a keepalived vip that acts as my secondary DNS server. Gravity sync keeps it in line with my main Pihole VM (push/pull) and then I have an old rpi also on the same keepalived vip that has gravity sync set up that pulls from the secondary VM
Anything I run as an evaluation or that needs testing also runs here. This machine gets Proxmox updates first as well.
