  • I repurposed an old laptop that wasn’t running very well by taking the guts out of it and stuffing it into an old 1U server chassis and installed Proxmox on bare metal.

    Currently running a HAOS VM, Docker in an LXC, and I’m in the process of trying to set up WireGuard in an LXC.

    I honestly can’t remember the exact specs of the laptop, but it’s very old, and with what I’m currently running I’ve still got tons of overhead left.

    I do have a monitor/kbm plugged into it and I’m running XFCE just incase I want to check on something locally while I’m downstairs, but generally the monitor is turned off (in case the power goes out, it won’t be an unnecessary drain on my UPS) and I just ssh in or use one of the Web-GUI’s, depending on the service I’m working on at the time.
