Organizing a home server with virtualizations?

Hi people! It is necessary to consult on the topic of virtualization on a home server.
Why you need a home server: A home server is necessary to organize the smooth operation of parsers and data processors. Those at work I want to separate applications so that they don’t take an extra piece of processor and memory while working in multithreaded mode, and for this I want to limit it to a virtual server in order to limit each of them in resources and not worry that if one parser eats all resources and others will die for lack thereof. also a few separate virtual machines for: queue servers, databases, and a few for the parsers themselves.
On the server and on virtual machines, one of the OCs will be running: Debian/Ububntu/CentOS
Config of the server itself

  1. Power supply unit AEROCOOL KCAS-500W, 500W, 120mm, black, retail 1 pc.
  2. Hard drive SEAGATE Barracuda ST1000DM003, 1TB, HDD, SATA III, 3.5" 2pcs.
  3. Case ATX ZALMAN ZM-Z1, Midi-Tower, without PSU, black 1 pc.
  4. Motherboard GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P SocketAM3+, ATX, Ret 1 pc.
  5. Memory module KINGSTON HyperX FURY Blue Series HX318C10F/8 DDR3 - 8GB 1866, DIMM, Ret 2 pcs.
  6. Processor AMD FX 8300, SocketAM3+, OEM [fd8300wmw8khk] 1 pc.
  7. Cooling device (cooler) DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX S40, 120mm 1 pc.

Perhaps I’ll take another SSD drive to install the operating system there, 2 drives will be combined into Raid 1 for more or less acceptable fault tolerance.
Question: is the config suitable for such a task, am I considering the organization of the server in the right direction, which virtualization solution to choose, what material to read for configuration.

Install proxmox at home and with the web interface.
Virtualization for the most part does not care what kind of hardware you have, as long as all your tasks have enough memory and CPU

For limiting resources, it makes no sense to fence the garden with virtualization
On Linux , man ulimit , man 5 limits.conf
There you can set limits for both CPU and memory on a per-user basis.

I have nothing against AMD, but for such tasks, Intel's stones are better suited.

I would put vmware esxi as a host for virtualization, and then put all the operating systems on it. And everything else fits in principle.

athacker , those running parsers from a specific user with limited capabilities?
As an option, it will also be useful to get acquainted! Thank you!
