Hey everyone. So I just inherited a Dell R720 from work. I don’t know the full specs on it yet, but it’s got a 24 core processor and about 380 GB of memory. I need to buy my own drives, though. I honestly have no idea what to do with this. I’ve dreamed of having a home lab, but only ever thought about hosting a Unifi controller and a plex or jellyfin server. I’ll probably put Proxmox on it to manage everything. What recommendations do you all have for making use of this server? I’m honestly open to anything!

    Nice! I have proxmox on mine. Search for proxmox helper scripts. Helped me allot! Also i am trying to set up a lemmy instance. Sor far - not working :) but yeah. Having some ssl issues. You could put nextcloud and plex on it too.
