Sorry, maybe a weird question. But I am gonna acquire a nice server soon and am interested on how to manage that. I want to run stuff like a webserver, matrix server and just a lot of cool stuff. But how do I approach that on a software level? Any tips would be nice. Thanks
I use unRAID + the docker compose plugin. The main advantage is that hardware updates are super easy:
Turn off
Replace motherboard and CPU with a completely different one
Turn on
(4. If hardware is passed through to a VM, reconfigure the XML)
Done, it just works, so I can just scavenge free hardware from work. Only this year I did AMD>Intel>AMD with very different CPUs and it didn’t bat an eye
