I'm in the process of setting up my own homelab and would greatly appreciate your recommendations and advice. Below, I provide the details and requirements of my project:
Goals and Essential Requirements:
- Homelab Server with Proxmox: I want to create an environment to learn and practice various IT certifications.
- TrueNAS: One of the virtual machines will be a TrueNAS that will utilize 6 Seagate Exos X18 HDDs, each 18 TB (already have them) for backups and cloud at home.
- Cybersecurity and Sysadmin Labs: I need to set up labs with virtual machines for practice.
- Home Service Applications: I wish to run various applications in virtual machines and containers (Docker or similar) to service at home.
- Chassis: Fractal Design Node 804
- HDDs: 6 Seagate/dell Exos X18 - 18 TB
- Low Power CPU: Seeking a processor that doesn't consume too much energy.
- Silent System: I want the server to be as silent as possible.
- Compatibility and Performance: Compatibility with Proxmox and good performance to handle multiple virtual machines and containers.
- Motherboard
- Processor (CPU)
- RAM Memory
- Additional Storage (SSD for the operating system and cache)
- Power Supply Unit (PSU)
- Cooling Systems (if necessary)
