VM's and Containers I am Running - 2023 - eviltoast
My last post detailed all the hardware I am running, so this post will list all the software that I run in VM's and containers. All of the following are virtual machines running on top of ESXi 7.0 U3 on three hosts. All containers are run within Virtual Machines.

Last time I posted a full writeup on my lab (The before before this) there was a lot of questions on what exactly I was running at home. So here is a full writeup on everything I am running, and how you can run it too

    Monitoring is the key. I use Zabbix, but essentially you want to gather metrics and report on issues.

    Once things are set up and working, even with 10s of VMs and applications, it’s quite reliable. The biggest things that catch you out are updates breaking functionality, updates requiring additional manual steps, running out of disk space or expired certificates.

    I find I get a spurt of energy to recreate or implement a new system every few months but things just tick over in the meantime.
