Added a #nuc to my #homelab yesterday. So far, cannot complain at all, it's awesome for running my vpn, pihole and some other services to trigger wake on lan for my other servers.

Another @Ghost deployment. Moving from my #homelab #test environment to the internet. Such a good asset to have. Would pick #ghost over #wordpress 10 / 10 times.

I have to say - @TermiusHQ has quickly become my favorite #ssh client. For all of you #sysadmins out there, be sure to give it a try!

#WindowsServer 2012R2 vs #WindowsServer 2016?
Which one and why?

@AshNazir @LlnuxBot If you're having issues, Ubuntu server 18.04 offers snap installation on install, where you can select and install docker with it

[HomeLab @GeekyHomeLab]

Docker.
Wow... Why did I refuse to use it sooner?

Dedicated VM just for it coming in hot. Time to learn.

@AshNazir @LlnuxBot You need these (assuming you're installing it on 18.04)

apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common

Add the GPG Key
curl -fsSL https://t.co/KC1CSHZMGo | sudo apt-key add -

@AshNazir @LlnuxBot Yessir!

And while wifey sleeps, I'm here trying to get my VMs running the way they're supposed to.

[HomeLab @GeekyHomeLab]

Just tinkering with #openvpn and #pfsense on one of my #homelab VMs.

These two are the must have duo... especially if you're not always connected to your network. Love how many great tools are out there!

[HomeLab @GeekyHomeLab]

After a day of trying to find the keyboard, my server will recognize, then struggling to install ESXi and figuring out how to get it to communicate with the network, I'm finally deploying my first VM onto it... What a day #homelab #sysadmin #networkadmin #selfhosted #esxi #vmware

Chapter 1
Old HP Proliant DL380 G4 came in today. Will be messing around with it until tonight, when I should be picking up an R805 and getting into something more serious.

Note to self: Never throw away old keyboards.

The switch came in, currently losing my mind over it. Whoever had it before me, had a really really messed up system image on it, to the point where default config was useless. Flashed the newest version, let's see what's up. #cisco #switch #NetworkAdmin #SysAdmin #homelab

Carefully monitoring my upcoming deliveries. Let the party begin. #homelab #freshsetup #deliveries #selfhosted #sysadmin #moneypit #geek #ebayfinds

Doing some research while I'm waiting for my servers to come. @pritunl seems like a pretty interesting solution for one of my biggest requirements, which is accessing the network from anywhere in the world, no interruptions. I will definitely be testing it in my #homelab.

[HomeLab @GeekyHomeLab]

I may or may not have bought some refurbished rackmount servers for my #homelab. Who am I kidding, of course I did. Time to spend some more money so my initial spending actually makes sense. #sorrywifey I guess we won't be going on that trip after all....
