- According to the author, the lightweight Proxmox platform runs directly on the old system, providing KVM, a web interface, and native LXC containers without requiring a premium license purchase.
- In an LXC running llama.cpp, he uses the 8GB GTX 1080 and part of the 32GB RAM, with Gemma-4-26B-A4 reaching 14 tokens per second.
- Blinko, Open Notebook, Paperless AI, and Karakeep also run as lightweight services in a Docker virtual machine, where he occasionally tests other LXCs.
- Before using the system for local AI, he passed the GPU through to a Windows 11 virtual machine as a headless remote gaming server and also temporarily ran OPNsense and a Hackintosh virtual machine.
