      @hobbit666 I am using Wholesale Internet and Proxmox VE 5.0 - Just $30 a month.

      I can write up a short how-to if you interested.

        See that's a killer for me at the moment lol. I've got a server here at work I use as a "play/test" server so don't really need one at home

          At the moment I'm pretty slim on what's running at home.

          XO
          Ubiquiti Controller
          Dev/Test XO system

            @hobbit666 Ahhhhh, OK 🙂 I host my personal site on, etc - so I figure that saves me $5/10 a month 🙂

              Dell R310 running hyper-v 2016.
              CentOS VM that's a DHCP and DNS server

              Cisco 2950 switch (have Two other switches and three routers from when I was studying for CCNA)

              Cisco ASA 5505 as my firewall / router. Also have an ancient Apple AirPort Extreme was a WAP.

              Got a Vultr instance for experimenting and learning FreePBX.

                  Mine's off right now. We're in the process of moving and I haven't had the opportunity to turn it back on yet.

                      How do you like the Sophos UTM? I was thinking about trying it out 🙂

                        A few of my clients use it. Works great. It's at the top of the list as far as UTMs go IMO. Miles ahead of SonicWall. For an all-in-one solution it fits the bill. I normally just use my ERL but can switch to the VM for testing if need be.

                          Dell 2950 running vmware esxi, with 2 guests at the moment (2008 AD server and a plex server on linux). The rest is boring network equipment.

                            Does it though? How much are you paying in power and cooling to have the sever at home?

                                Not really a lab. Just Plex and a Nginx proxy I was testing something with and was too lazy to connect to my hyper-v systems in the colo.

                                  I wonder if it would be possible to connect all the PLEX systems together for one massive library.

                                        I just feel like that may be going into a legal territory no one really wants to go.
