It’s taken a long time to get here. Perhaps longer than it should have to decide which direction to take my #homelab and 2GT’s infrastructure. Now the wait is over! Goodbye #VMware, Hello #Proxmox! In this video, we’re taking you through our experience of migrating from VMware ESXi to Proxmox VE, using the Proxmox ESXi migration process built into PVE, and showing you the trials and tribulations along the way, as well as our final thoughts at the end.
Head over to 45Drive’s website and check out the Proxinator. You’ll be glad you did!
