Hi All
Thought it would be interesting to start a thread on home labs, what do you have hardware wise and what is it used for? What are your future plans?
I have recently moved from an old desktop machine to a Lenovo Think Centre M80q Gen 3, with an i5 12500T 6c/12t Processor and 32Gb DDR5 Ram.
I currently use XCP-NG 8.3 as a hypervisor and run a full Citrix CVAD test lab i.e. Domain, Azure AD Authentication, NetScaler Gateway for external access etc. as I work in that field.
The little M80q is handling 9 VM's fine with low power usage under 20watt.
Future plan is to upgrade to 64GB DDR5 when prices come down, and id like to build a physical pfsense firewall on another small machine so i can emulate a full production environment.
What have you got?
