Power is something i’m taking in to account, and thankfully isn’t too much to worry with around my area. Though I had received the server and i’ve now learned about SAS formfactors, so this one needs to go back since my drives are 3.5" and the proliant takes 2.5" and I didn’t see it on the ebay page. live and learn. back to drawing board of research.

Those licenses are really poorly priced that’s unfortunate since they seem to be really neat devices do work with VLans for

Ah that is unfortunate. I appreciate the insight on it. I’ll just take it up to microcenter one of these days to recycle it.

I’m also open to new network projects and have been considering getting a domain name to make the Minecraft server easier to learn to route to a name for my friends to link to.

I’ve been getting deeper in to how this can go over the summer. I’ve done plex for a good few years at this point, but i’ve got this now: -Ubuntu bionic -Dockge (for easy rebooting when i’m just not feeling the CLI) -Arr stack -Gluetun (VPN for stack) -Firefox (LAN access only, no other access from gluetun) -Radarr -Sonarr -qbittorrent -prowlarr -Immich -Plex

A few I’ve tried but can’t get to work on docker-compose yet: -searxNG -Heimdall (just can’t get the graphs I wanna see for the systems processes) -homarr (not bad, just same as heimdall)

I wanted to cut over to proxmox from ubuntu just to have more server efficient since i’m not running ubuntu server. However I’m still fairly new to this and the cut over from docker desktop and docker run to docker-compose was a lot for a bit, so it’ll still be on the list, but probably when I upgrade this old cpu (i5 6500) to something newer since this is an old thinkcenter. I’m hella open to any suggestions anyone’s got
