Proxmox on physical servers hosting a variety of vanilla Debian installations. I have a physical router running pfsense as well as two HP miniservers running OpenMediaVault.

Debian with Yunohost.
I'm currently on ubuntu and fedora. I'd love to try coreos
TrueNAS scale with truecharts for my main server. I'm considering rolling out a compute only server with openSUSE microOS to leave trueNAS only for storage. I like openSUSE philosophy and microOS with cockpit seems solid on my tests. I might start with some old laptops and deploy the ldap server there to test it and remove that responsability from TrueNAS.
Ubuntu, but I'm very strongly considering switching out to Debian or Rocky. Ubuntu has a lot of really unnecessary cruft that I think I'd be better off without.
I use Fedora on my laptop now, so going the RHEL/Rocky/Alma route for my servers is really tempting. Especially as I'm also considering switching to Podman.
Ubuntu LTS because that's what I was most comfortable with at the time, now I'd really like to switch over to Debian but I'm not sure I can be bothered until I really have to, everything is working well at the moment. It's running in Proxmox.
Ubuntu LTS and k3s for all workloads (except for plex, which I've not gotten around to migrating yet...)
Hello fellow k3s friend!
It's okay. You aren't alone anymore.
Mythbuntu. It started its life as a MythTV server.
A few actually.
Rocky Linux 9, XCP-NG, Windows server 2022 datacenter
Different usecasses.
Fedora Server, with most of the services I need running via Docker.
My setup consists of the following:
Unraid, most services I self host run in docker here. Things like plex/jellyfin, nextcloud, unifi could controller.
Proxmox, used to virtualize my pfsense after I moved away from my unifi USG router. A few Linux and Debian headless virtual machines run here as well. Had pihole virtualized here as well but switched over to pfBlockerNG to consolidate.
TrueNAS, all my media shares. I also sync my desktop environments here to have a consistent windows desktop across my desktops and laptops.
Home assistant running on home assistant yellow. Runs a few add-on services.
I have several servers I’ve acquired over the years setup in a proxmox cluster
Fedora Server
hypervisor: proxmox
vms: rhel 9.2
Ubuntu server w/ zfs on the main.
Have a little atom hp home server at my parents house that uses almost no power, that runs freebsd x86, zerotier one, and kopia. Free cloud backup 😁
Ubuntu and WinServer2019 vms split over a proxmox-machine and server2019-hyperv-machine
2 each for replication.
Arch which is great, but I want to move to FreeBSD or Proxmox for security reasons
TrueNAS, and Debian
Proxmox, Openmediavault, Ubuntu Server. Mostly because I'm lazy and I grew up using Ubuntu.
Arch for stuff I have physical access to. Nothing's ever gone wrong, so it's worth it for the immediate updates and consistency with my other systems. For VPS I use Debian though, occasionally the unstable/Sid branch if I really need the latest updates. There are almost always Debian images available on a VPS.
