Automating a Rock-Solid Homelab Proxmox Setup with Ansible

To enhance flexibility and robustness, the author migrated their homelab to a Minisforum UM880 Plus mini-PC, deploying Proxmox VE. The post details the entire process, from installing an encrypted Debian OS and configuring a bridged network to automating Proxmox installation and configuration using Ansible. Challenges encountered, such as a Proxmox installation bricking the system, are documented along with their solutions. The result is a highly automated Proxmox setup, providing a solid foundation for future Kubernetes experimentation.
