I had a spare Dell R230 so I've installed Sophos XG on that server. Not too bad with power but quite happy I did that because I got a 1Gbps fiber to the home internet and it can handle all of that even with all of the rules and filtering (IPS) active.

Here is the NGINX config file. If you have trouble setting this up, let me know and I'll help where I can. server { listen 80; # replace mycustomdomain.com with your own domain; server_name mycustomdomain.com www.mycustomdomain.com; # line below redirects HTTP requests to the...

NextCloud is one of the most secure and robust file sharing platforms out there and it is designed to be available as a public site. Sure, having it behind a VPN is more secure but that's assuming your VPN setup isn't vulnerable (ie: don't use PPP but instead use L2TP as a bare minimum with...

You haven't mentioned whether you want to backup a virtual machine or a physical machine so trying to speak to both. Veeam makes products that can address your need for both virtual and physical. Veeam Backup & Replication will handle your virtual (without the need to install an agent on the...

This sounds like an ideal scenario for ZeroTier. Installing the .msi client on Hyper-V would be super simple. Install the ZeroTier client on both ends of the connection and you'll immediately have a super simple SSL VPN connection between the 2 devices. It will assign a new IP to each device and...

I've personally used these WD Red drives in a Dell R510 12 bay servers for years without any problems.

The real concern with the server in the garage is humidity. There's a risk that temps will cross the "dew" temperature and you'll end-up with moisture in your server. Do you plan to close off the rack with some kind of humidity/temp control?

While I haven't used these specific drives. I have used MANY non-Dell branded drives in a number of Dell servers and all of them have worked. You don't mention which server and which Perc card you're using but my first suggestion would be to check and make sure that your Perc drivers and...

I had the exact same outcome when trying to upgrade firmware on my Dell R620. Bricked both PSUs and nothing I did could revive them. Luckily it was still under warranty and Dell sent replacements. The moral of this story for me is that I don't do firmware upgrades on PSUs anymore.

Echoing others a bit... - Conduit with rounded elbows (be sure it is properly fire rated for your location) - Make sure to install pull string in the conduit while the conduit is being installed (you'll kick yourself later if you ever want to run more wire or replace one) - Run twice the drops...

I run Sophos XG Home at home on a 1 GBPs internet connection and I can confirm that IPS on definitely allows full Gbps. I haven’t tried a speed test on the VPN but I’ve never had any speed issues using it. It’s running on a Dell Poweredge R230, 240 GB SSD, 8GB RAM and an E3-1220 v5. It's true...

May be a dumb question but, if you like the Sophos view, is Sophos XG on your short list? The Home version is still free. You looking for business or personal use?

Let me offer a bit of a reality check. Does your wife's business require 24/7 uptime? My guess is it does not. In fact, the business could probably stand to suffer at least a few hours of downtime, if not even a couple of days before there was irreversible damage to business operations. This is...

And Glacier has a tier that is even cheaper than the standard Glacier storage called Glacier Deep Archive.

For what it's worth, here is my setup. Storage: Movies are stored on a Dell R510 stuffed full of 6TB drives in a RAID6 config (I don't want to re-rip 2000 movies so need some protection) The R510 is setup as a NAS server with a single VM as file server. It's assigned 4 vCPUs and 8GB memory to...

I bought this for a friend for pfSense. Threw a SSD in there and it is completely silent (fanless). He's got 500/500 and doesn't even break a sweat. If the 1U form factor isn't a deal breaker. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B074PK8ZVG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
