I wish you luck on your endeavors! 😁 Since I got recommend Proxmox it has completely changed my home-labbing experience for the better. It works great!
Feel free to ask if you have any questions about Proxmox and I will do my best to answer them. I am by no means an expert but I have a few peojects up and running and use NPMPlus to handle all the network routing.
If you want to host multiple things on that server I would suggest installing Proxmox VE. It’s Debian with everything necessary to create and manage containers and VMs. Everything is accessed from a Web interface and it’s super easy to access the terminals for the containers or use remote desktop for VMs you create.
The latest version added the ability to install docker images directly into Proxmox without needing Docker but if you prefer to use Docker then you can install Docker in a container and install your things in there.
Here’s a nice script to run afterwards to remove subscription nagging, remove enterprise repos that require subscription and add community repos.

That site also has lots of amazing scripts to install and configure self-host projects!
A good project to try is Pelican if you want to have an easy way to create and manage game servers. It’s very simple to get the game servers up and running once Pelican is configured properly.
Instead of paying monthly for a VPS you could get a mini PC from eBay for 100 dollars and host it yourself
The government has nothing to do with this. It’s organized by a Union. We have a lot of strong unions here.
Nothing can justify genocide or murdering random people at sea. Ever. It doesn’t matter who is doing it. The breaking of international law needs to have consequences.
It seems like a lot of people today have a hard time to not justify atrocities.
