Also a reason not to use ollama: https://sleepingrobots.com/dreams/stop-using-ollama/

Totally fair. I also started with Debian for a Minecraft server, at the request of my partner. I might try out Icarus, is it cross platform?

Hehe tbh I only run 5 😅 I found it useful when I had to diagnose some cpu hogging off one of the containers and the ease of backups. Even though have not needed it yet.

Have you thought about running proxmox rather than Debian? I found it to be useful for managing/tracking/backups of containers.
