Proxmox deployment and OOM(?) errors
What do you envision for the mention of Proxmox?
Because I gave it some thoughts yesterday, and ultimately I'm just spinning up Ubuntu VMs and deploying Windmill on it via Docker containers. There is nothing special here and Windmill works just as expected following the Docker deployment instructions!
The issue I encountered was not linked to Windmill, but to Proxmox.
Do you think it still makes sense to mention it?

Proxmox deployment and OOM(?) errors
Not completely sure so far, I'm still testing it. It's quite popular within the self-hosting community, so I thought I'd give it a go.
Initially I wanted to upgrade from running the Home Asisstant OS on my pi. But I already had Windmill and a bunch of containers running on my minipc. And running Home Assistant in a container prevents you from using a lot of nice functionalities you otherwise have access to with the Home Assistant OS.
So Proxmox sounded like a perfect solution for this: Proxmox is running on my minipc, and I use it to manage a VM running the Home Assistant OS AND another VM running a regular Ubuntu Server with all my containers.
I quite like the ability to spin up VMs in a really simple way in basically 1 minute. For the people like me who don't know much about VMs or Linux, it makes it really easy to cross the bridge 🙂
Though I haven't tested it yet, it looks like the functionality to backup VMs via snapshots is very powerful and ridiculously easy to use.

Proxmox deployment and OOM(?) errors
Importing Polars doesn't even work at all within the VM.
But, it's possible to make it work! So for the future peeps who run into this:
SOLUTION
1) Go to the Proxmox UI
2) Go to the Hardware settings of the VM
3) Edit the
Processors config
4) Change the processor Type to host
5) Restart your VM

Proxmox deployment and OOM(?) errors
- I booted on the same machine running Proxmox, except on the SSD which just runs Ubuntu Server 22.04 and the flows worked as expected.
- I happen to have a different machine with Proxmox installed. I deployed Windmill on it in exactly the same way. Tested my flows and I get the same Signal 4 error. So it's not hardware related. It's got to be Proxmox somehow.
So to make it clear:
- Machine 1 -> Proxmox -> Ubuntu Server 22.04 -> Windmill using Docker -> ❌
- Machine 1 -> Ubuntu Server 22.04 -> Windmill using Docker -> ✅
- Machine 2 -> Proxmox -> Ubuntu Server 22.04 -> Windmill using Docker -> ❌
Note: everything is deployed with default configs.
Next thing I'd like to try is:
- Machine 1 -> Proxmox -> Fedora 38 -> Windmill using Docker
I don't have much hope but at least it's something!

The previous setup is actually still there on the same machine. I have Ubuntu Server installed on a different SSD. I tried to boot on this SSD yesterday to test my flows, and they work.
So, what I did is just add a new SSD, installed Proxmox on it and booted with that SSD.
