    Looking For Ideas On Server Software Architecture

    I did finally get ESXi 6.5 (7 didn't work with my older hardware) installed. This project has taken the back seat for a few weeks while I got my garden up and running but now I'm back at it. Over the past few days I've watched a lot of videos and read a lot of guides. Right now I'm trying to...

    Looking For Ideas On Server Software Architecture

    Man! I don't know what I'm doing. I'm trying to learn. This is not my world. Otherwise I'd just use VirtualBox on some Windows install. I have been Googling for HOURS over days. I'm very grateful for your advice thus far. If anyone can point me to a guide I'd love it. I just want to make...

    I switched because I hit a wall in importing the NextCloud .ova and was just thinking that ESXi would be easier in that respect. Not so though. It doesn't even have drivers for my HDD controller. I'm happy to use whatever works and am happy to learn. I got stuck at the first command. I think...

    Jesus! I went through a very painful process of downloading ESXi (The download button wasn't responding for me in any browser) and now it won't even load! I loaded the .iso onto a USB drive with Rufus and after the boot process I immediately see a screen that says "Remove media and press any key...

    Looking For Ideas On Server Software Architecture

    Yeah, I just got a second SSD for VMs. Server hardware has been rolling in to my house like a herd of turtles. Shipping is apparently overtaxed these days. I also have all of my RAM installed (64 GB) and 8 x 8 TB HDDs so I'm ready to go. I had already seen that guide. It seems like a bit of...

    Yes, yes. How? How do I run a .ova?

    Should I just use ESXi instead? That was my plan originally.

    Yes. But a few posts up someone said that Proxmox now supports them. Is this true?

    Looking For Ideas On Server Software Architecture

    I have Proxmox up and running. I got a second SSD for VMs. I have the napp-it .ova and my NextCloud .ova. How do I get them on Proxmox? When I Google "Proxmox .ova" all I find is complicated business. Can I just put them on a USB drive and import them? I'm sort of thinking that ESXi might be...

    I finally have Proxmox up and running. Now, how do I utilize the rest of the OS drive for VM storage? I only really need to install napp-it.

    Ah. That's a good idea about the clones. And I'd love that script. I've watched some tutorials and it looks a little annoying. Thanks again for all the input.

    Beautiful! I'll just use an old Intel SSD for Proxmox, napp-it and Pi-Hole. I'll install Nextcloud and Colabra on the array. Thanks for all the great advice guys. Anything else I should be keeping in mind?

    I've heard that with Proxmox you can't install the VMs on the same drive as the OS itself. True? If so I'm going to have to get a new SSD just for the VMs.

    Looking For Ideas On Server Software Architecture

    I haven't ruled out Proxmox yet, haven't really had the time to look into it. Here's what I'm currently thinking about doing: ESXi, a VM for Windows Server 2019 (Does Proxmox have the same hardware passthrough as ESXi? I absolutely need to be able to pass my USB ports to Windows.), a VM for the...
