Dell 2950 running vmware esxi, with 2 guests at the moment (2008 AD server and a plex server on linux). The rest is boring network equipment.

@hobbit666 Ahhhhh, OK I host my personal site on, etc - so I figure that saves me $5/10 a month

Does it though? How much are you paying in power and cooling to have the sever at home?

Not really a lab. Just Plex and a Nginx proxy I was testing something with and was too lazy to connect to my hyper-v systems in the colo.

I wonder if it would be possible to connect all the PLEX systems together for one massive library.

Orrrr.... a vultr based file share where we all upload and mount? I don't know how much vultr charges for storage.

[coliver]

I just feel like that may be going into a legal territory no one really wants to go.

I'm shocked you haven't received a tongue lashing from @scottalanmiller for running Proxmox !
