🤔 Does your mini PC need ECC RAM for #Proxmox?

Not really. ECC adds error correction, but it’s optional.
For homelabs or light virtualization, non-ECC RAM is perfectly fine.

💡 Can you run #Proxmox on a mini PC with only 8GB RAM?

Yes, but it’s best for light workloads or LXC containers.

For multiple VMs or heavier services, 16GB+ is recommended.
