The only thing I bought was a switch and a NAS, both second hand. You can spend a lot for nothing in return.

Yea I’m the same. planning on making some VMS/docker nodes, Highly available while others can be kicked to the kerb if there are issues.

I have three docker nodes on three Debean VMs on three proxmox servers. I should play around with lxcs and native containers on proxmox but it would mess up with my tri lateral system.
