Yes it runs very well in an Ubuntu vm (I recommend Ubuntu over Debian for this one). Don't use LXC, Pmox does not like nested containers. I'm currently running 8 cores with 16gb of ram and 256gb drive. My /data directory is a mounted nfs share. It all runs like clockwork and required minimal setup. 8 cores is overkill I know, I'm only running that many for Tdarr.

Yes — SparkBox runs great on Proxmox, and there's a dedicated walk-through that covers exactly this: https://tomsparkbox.com/guides/sparkbox-on-proxmox. The short version: create a normal Ubuntu Server VM and install SparkBox inside it — a full VM needs no special setup and is the recommended starting point. If you'd rather use a lighter LXC container, that works too, but the VPN side needs a few extra steps on the Proxmox host, and the guide walks through both paths line by line. Start with a VM and you'll be up fastest. If anything in the guide is unclear, just reply here and I'll help.

Apologies for the dead link, Gh0st — I just checked it again and it's loading now, so that looks like a brief hiccup on our side. Try it here: https://tomsparkbox.com/guides/sparkbox-on-proxmox If it still won't open on your end, the quick version is: yes, SparkBox works on Proxmox — create a normal Ubuntu Server VM and install SparkBox inside it, and you're set with no extra setup. If the page keeps giving you trouble, reply and I'll paste the full steps right here.

Yes — it runs well in Proxmox. The easy route is to give it its own Ubuntu Server virtual machine in Proxmox, then run the normal install inside it: curl -fsSL https://get.tomsparkbox.com/install.sh | sudo bash There's a full walkthrough at tomsparkbox.com/guides/sparkbox-on-proxmox. A VM needs no special setup and is the recommended path; running it in a container (LXC) also works but needs a few extra steps, so start with the VM.
