  • Oof. Do you have any experience doing stuff like this? If you don’t, I don’t think you should take this job. If you know what you’re doing however, then I don’t understand many of your questions. What is the DHCP and firewall situation at the Uni? What is your backup solution? Why will you not have an access key after setup? If there is another team also managing it? What do they think?

    In any case, I would NOT use a Mac as a server. You can run Asahi or such on it, but many of our idioms just don’t work on Mac.

    If it’s from a Uni and power consumption and Noise don’t matter, I would buy (consciously) three used 1u servers and cluster two proxmox nodes. On the third I would run a proxmox backup server. If money also doesn’t matter, I would do the same, but buy new.

    However, you may not even need proxmox, but the issue is that you don’t even know what they are going to use the server for. This makes it impossible for us to give you good suggestions.
