Proxmox A Journey 💻

Background

Years ago, I started working on developing my home lab to better my skills in systems administration and overall IT knowledge. Over the years I’ve touched base with VirtualBox, VMware, XCP-ng, and even Hyper V standalone, while it was free, and even considered purchasing a data center license to have “ALLLL the VMs.” However, cost was always a factor in my home lab. Typically, I always ended up playing with some kind of hardware that defaulted to whatever workstation or laptop that I had floating around at the time. Had it not been for a tower desktop that had been given to me from a program I was in that got shut down, I would have never had the hardware to run any kind of “server” at home.
