One-VM AI stack pattern
Provision a VM from your template and install Docker. Inside that VM deploy:
Ollama + Open WebUI for local models.
n8n for orchestrations.
Qdrant or Postgres + pgvector for memory. These are the same containers you used in the Docker and Unraid guides, now living in a Proxmox VM so you get snapshots and PBS backups as safety rails. (Admin Guide 9.x - Index)
