I am currently running most of my stuff from an unraid box using spare parts I have. It seems like I am hitting my limit on it and just want to turn it into a NAS. Micro PCs/USFF are what I am planning on moving stuff to (probably a cluster of 2 for now but might expand later.). Just a few quick questions:

Running arr services on a proxmox cluster to download to a device on the same network. I don't think there would be any problems but wanted to see what changes need to be done.
Which micro PCs are you running? I am leaving towards HP prodesk or Lenovo 7xx/9xx series around 200 each. I don't really plan on getting more than 2-3 and don't run too many things, but would want enough overhead if I switch stuff over to home assistant and windows and Linux VMs if needed.
Any best practices you recommend when starting a Proxmox cluster? I've learned over time it's best to set it up correctly than try to fix stuff when it's running. I wish I could coach myself from 7 years ago now. Would of saved a lot of headaches lol.

I second this. It took me a really long time how to properly mount network storage on proxmox VM's/LXC's, so just be prepared and determine the configuration ahead of time. Unprivilaged LXC's have differen't root user mappings, and you can't mount an SMB directly into a container (someone correct me if i'm wrong here), so if you go that route you will need to fuss a bit with user maps.

I personally have a VM running with docker for the arr suite and a separate LXC's for my sambashare and streaming services. It's easy to coordinate mount points with the compose.yml files, but still tricky getting the network storage mounted for read/write within the docker containers and LXC's.
