I believe for anything home server (or even production), proxmox got you covered, it’s mature, stable, has strong community, and at the end of the day it’s still debian so you can mod it however you like. You can have containers, vms, firewalls, hdd zfs pools, backups, and more. And you can even use something like community scripts for easier installation, although always read the script before you install anything. I have also been playing with BastilleBSD too but I don’t think it’s there yet.

Proxmox is great. I use it for experimenting with Lightwhale swarm clusters locally; I'm currently running 8 Lightwhale worker nodes with 512MB RAM each and no disk, and it's super fast and fits in my pocket.

I don't consider Lightwhale as an alternative to Proxmox. In fact, how do you even run a Docker container in Proxmox? Without booting Lightwhale in a VM first, I mean? ;)
