Im planning to buy a Nas Synology and a raspberry pi 5 to run my homelab.
Im planning to buy a Nas Synology and a raspberry pi 5 to run my homelab.
Im gonna install Ubuntu as Os (i want to learn linux more) But whats the best way to run Home assistant and other vm's. I have a license for VMware from school, so is a good idea to start running HA, pfsense from there or best to go with something like proxmox?
I know docker is also a solid option but i want to have to configure more things the "hard" way, to learn more
All tips are welcome! Thanks!
Many, I included prefer to run router on dedicated hardware to keep everything up and running rather than taking down the whole network for changes updates errors etc
1Having owned a Synology for nearly a decade, I would recommend looking into Unraid. It’s far more flexible and you can build one fairly inexpensively from an older workstation. I used a Thinkstation P510. 14 cores, 64gb ram $200.
