Running a small host machine with a SER7 processor and Windows has been a habit for a long time. However, considering running VMware or PVE on the same machine is a viable option. I am interested in knowing if there are significant differences between running a router and gateway alongside Docker services on VMware versus PVE. The machine is designed to run 24/7, and considering the similarity in usage patterns between Windows and PVE, I am hesitant to switch. Therefore, I would like to explore the advantages and disadvantages of running VMware and PVE on the same machine to determine which option is more suitable.
