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, I’m using Homepage Dashboard. I’ve used Heimdall before but Homepage is more customizable and very config driven that’s why I like it better.
