Made a fantastic build with the awesome guidance of serverbuilds.net
This server is being used as one of my ESXi hosts that will host all my primary stuff.
Currently I’m running this set up:
Xpenology, sonarr/radarr/nzbget (docker containers on the Xpenology server), PFSense, AD Domain Controller, PiHole, vCenter, and nginx (reverse proxy for services).
Planning on deploying nextcloud, bitwarden, and a few other services.
