The Minisforum MS-01 serves as the foundation of my entire lab environment. Running Proxmox VE, it hosts a mix of Ubuntu and CentOS VMs alongside LXC containers. Storage is tiered across NVMe SSDs for high-performance workloads and a 5×4TB RAID-Z1 pool for bulk storage. The iGPU is disabled at BIOS level to enable clean PCIe passthrough of the NVIDIA RTX 2000E Ada to a dedicated AI workload VM.
