Hi Esc,

 On Wednesday August 16 2023, Esc said to poindexter FORTRAN:

Proxmox will do 1 and 2... With 3, Like all Amiga emulator's, your going to
have issues with remote access and the gui issues...

You'd be better off using a Raspberry pi for the Amiga setup.

What hardware do you currently have? Unlike the current ESXi limitations, if
it can run linux (Proxmox is based on Debian), then proxmox will run on it.

You just then need a bit of ram.. I've ran it on a Intel Q9600 with 8gb of
ram, and gave the VM 6gb.. This was just to test the restore functions of
proxmox.

That's going to be what ever the host system has then.
