Simply a Protectli Vault 6-port. 8 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz with 64GB RAM and 2TB msata SSD and a 4TB Samsung SSD. Running Proxmox and a few VMs and Docker containers on LXCs.

I guess the next step is moving away from mSata, hopefully directly to multiple NVMEs still keeping the low-power, no-moving-parts approach.

@agj Nice! I would love to get my hands on one of these Protectli boxes for testing out. This looks like a nice setup and the fanless unit I'm sure is great for noise!

@romayojr Great setup! Also, love the grafana monitoring on your proxmox resources. Is this heimdall on the dashboard?

Thanks! No, Iโ€™m using Homepage Dashboard. Iโ€™ve used Heimdall before but Homepage is more customizable and very config driven thatโ€™s why I like it better.ย
