What you seem to want is an active-backup bond, I have all my homelab servers with it so they can fail over when the core switch goes down for maintenance.

Proxmox provided an easy UI to setup but it can be done with any Linux distro.

Also checkout Heroic Launcher, Epic gives free games every week, there’s plenty of fun to have with those too.

It’s just yay it will update by default if no parameters are passed.

Be aware in RAID0 if one of the HDD fails, the content on both will be lost lost.

Sounds like you’re passing the physical HDDs to the VM instead of creating a new virtual HDD file in your proxmox pool.

If you don’t mind me asking, what are you trying to do with your VM?

In terms of services I use the most I guess it would be these:

• OpenHAB + HABapp + zigbee2mqtt + mosquitto (home automation)
• Foundry VTT
• piHole (DNS)
• OpenMediaVault (NAS)
• Grafana + Loki + Prometheus (monitoring)
