The following pages will guide you through the Proxmox setup and settings. This was a huge switch from having Unraid as the barebones system controlling everything to Proxmox being the OS. Unraid was then moved to a vm with it's sole purpose being data storage and parity while Proxmox handled the vms. An standalone vm was then installed to handle the Docker responsibilities that Unraid previously had.
