i started this project on a laptop with plex, went to my old PC and some old work PC’s, but they were too crappy to do alot with.
but now i am finally confident enough to say this homeserver is stable. it’s been running for 2 1/2 months now without any downtime and it runs everything i need! (i might also add a MC server someday idk)

Wow, what a beauty! Must be fantastic now that it’s proven itself to mostly work. I’m gonna try setting up a Vintage Story dedicated server with Fedora Server this week on a thin client or HP pro or whatever you want to call it. What do you use when managing the server? I read about Cockpit and honestly it looks to perfectly fit my needs.

i just use the pve web interface and homarr as a “homelab homepage”
edit: also ive never heard of fedora server, is it any good? whats the reasin to usr it over regular old debian?
Well I just switched over from W11 to Fedora on my workstation/main device and I had an impulse to keep the amount of seperate distro’s to max 2. Already have Mint on the living room pc, so, I don’t know, maybe keeping it in the same family reduces my startup friction?
Also have a Synology NAS seperately, so currently my new home server demands are low, fedora server is bound to adequate.
