General Discussion / OPNSense implimentation
« on: October 15, 2024, 01:21:17 pm »
Hi Everyone!
new here
I'm wondering and need your advise - should the OPNSense be on a dedicated machine (without VMware\ProxMox etc.) or it can run as a VM part of Proxmox?
I'm asking because I have an old laptop (https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/pd105049-product-overview-lenovo-v110-15ikb) that currently has ProxMox and OPNsense as a VM. this Lenovo has (IN TOTAL) 12 gigs of RAM, 256 disk and an i5 CPU currently.
AND --- I have an Intel NUC i7 gen 8 with 8 RAM and 128 disk (which both can be improved if needed) which I use barely, as the living room PC (attached to my LED TV), most of its time it sleeps LOL.
I wonder if a NUC pc is able to run 24\7 with no heating issues. I can't tell right now if the OPN will be the only VM on the NUC, or maybe by time I will add more.
shoot!
THANKS!
