Proxmox is essentially a clustered hypervisor (a KVM wrapper, really). It has some overlap with K8s (via containers), but is simpler for what I do and has some very nice features, namely around backups, redundancy/HA, hardware passthrough, and the fact that it has a usable GUI.

I also use K8s at work, so this is a nice contrast to use something else for my home lab experiments. And tbh, I often find that if I want something done (or something breaks), muscle-memory-Linux-things come back to me a lot quicker than some obscure K8s incantation, but I suppose that's just my personal bias.

Several of my VMs (which are very different than containers, obviously - even though I believe VMs on K8s _can_ be a thing...) run (multiple) docker containers.
