Proxmox Mini Server: Beelink Mini PC S12 Pro
In testing and playing around with a lot of Mini PCs in the lab envirnoment lately, this video showcases the Beelink Mini S12 Pro which I think will make a great little Proxmox micro server for running a few workloads, containers, virtual machines, and other tasks as a home server. Check out my thoughts and review of the hardware for this type of use case.
