Kodi and hyper v - a Strange mix of software, I agree.
Here's the scenario.
I have a micro Xeon server, running Hyper-V server, domain controllers, wsus, couch potato, sabnzb, unifi, FreeNAS (build in progress), blue iris (2019 sometime..) and some other small things.
No problem with this setup.
I have a raspberry pi connected to my tv that does struggle a little with some videos. I was thinking of just getting something more powerful, which lead me to the idea of using a sff computer (nuc etc.) with, for example, 16gb ram, nvme storage for os/boot and HDD for data. Run server 2016/19, Auto login and load Kodi, but also have the hyper v role, running a pair of vm's. (DC and Nas replica).
While not a conventional setup, I think it might work ok.
It might also open the door to home automation, where I'd want at least 2 physical hosts for redundancy.
Has anybody tried this, or something similar?
Power is a concern, as are size and noise. Cost comes somewhere down this list. Performance is not that important.
Cheers,
