My last post detailed all the hardware I am running, so this post will list all the software that I run in VM's and containers. All of the following are virtual machines running on top of ESXi 7.0 U3 on three hosts. All containers are run within Virtual Machines.
Last time I posted a full writeup on my lab (The before before this) there was a lot of questions on what exactly I was running at home. So here is a full writeup on everything I am running, and how you can run it too
With this amount of servers it seems to be quite a job running and managing all of these. I am running just a few containers and struggle sometimes when there is a major version upgrade to get everything back up running.
How much time do you spend on maintenance for these machines and do you have a tool for it or is it just plain command line? 😯
Not really, I just update containers via Portainer and update the OS with a bash script. Once every few weeks I just roll through them all, only takes 30 mins at most
