I was a VMware admin. I drank the freakin koolaid. Got the certs. I was planning on a career as an architect. Did ok.

Then Broadcom. Fukers.

My boss said screw em, we go Proxmox. So now I live and breathe Proxmox.
PVE is a heap of janky hax, so you gotta get expert real fast.
PBS is cutting edge software that breaks twice a week, so ya gotta get expert real fast.
And now I'm an expert. Especially at PBS. DR. Site-to-site. I can do that shit.

Now that I have this new skillset, where can I use it?

The Forums are pretty baron, we use Proxmox at our University, and we don't have enough hours to figure everything out. Maybe you could do some good for the people out there

My friend, I'll hand out discredit where it is due, and Proxmox has a lot of issues ... but the Proxmox vendor does a decent job of supporting a free product.

https://forum.proxmox.com/

In fact I do devote several hours every week sorting out people's issues on the vendor's forum.
But they have real employees ... well they are interns and a few really cranky support folks.
And they drag the devs in to respond to stuff regularly.
So they don't really need my help. But I'm helping.

I'm sorry. Perhaps we have a language barrier.
If you have a specific question, please ask. I'll either try to answer it or point you at the correct answer source.

Do you not pay for support?

I would highly recommend you get a support contract.

Mmm. I replied to the wrong post.
Yes, support can come in handy.
