Hello everyone, I would like to get started with selfhost with two projects. **Project A** (for me): A NUC with Proxmox installed on it, two VMs including a Home Assistant and a NAS system that I haven't chosen yet. The only question I have with this project is: - how to access the NAS and HA separately from the outside knowing that my access provider does not offer a static IP and that access to each VM must be differentiated from Proxmox. ~~**Project B** (for my uncle):~~ ~~A NUC (with Proxmox or not, I don't know yet, perhaps simpler for making backups), with HA but especially Frigate.~~ ~~The goal is to use Google Coral to do recognition on 3 video surveillance cameras.~~ ~~My questions are:~~ - ~~is Coral really useful with 3 cameras?~~ - ~~do you need a Coral in USB or M.2 version?~~ - ~~are there affordable NUCs with free M.2 slots?~~ - ~~won't proxmox add a layer of complexity with Coral/Frigate/a Zigbee dongle?~~ Thank you in advance for your help and sorry if my post is long. ~~PS: if you have recommendations for cameras that work with Frigate and are self-powered with solar panels, I'll take them!~~ **Edit : 8 april 2024** A little update. Thank you everyone for your super quick responses! *Regarding my uncle's project and after big discussions, he is going to buy Reolink cameras and that's it. This will be much simpler for maintenance than building a server.* Regarding my project: I chose a Beelink Mini S12 pro with an N100 processor (for its low consumption) with a 2.5 bay for an SSD for my Nextcloud. I wondered if I wouldn't take the opportunity to add pihole and that's where new questions arise... I see a lot of people installing Pihole on Docker, should I put it on Docker? Or create a VM? Should Docker be installed on Proxmox or on a VM? Is Proxmox really useful, shouldn't I better install HA/Nextcloud/Pihole under Docker directly? Should I use LXC or Docker?
