Regardless if I am working from home, my house needs a NAS to share files between computers. In this article, I will walk through my thought process, along with the lessons I learned. In doing so, I have learned quite a bit about how hypervisors actually work. Did I really need two separate servers? I had a few weeks off of work, so I decided to work on combining the two into one MegaServer running Unraid. The funny thing was, I wasn't pushing either box all that hard. For almost a year, I had two servers sitting in my home office. So I built a new computer just to be a hypervisor. I needed more VMs than I thought my Unraid box could handle. This is where my misunderstanding of hypervisors came in. At first, I used Unraid as both my NAS and a simple hypervisor. That misunderstanding caused me to end up building two servers. When I started, I had some fundamental misunderstandings on how hypervisors work. Specifically, how I built a NAS and a hypervisor to host a bunch of VMs for a test lab. What I want to focus on for this post is how I built the infrastructure to help me work from home more efficiently. I'll get into those differences in later posts. As expected, working from home is a lot different than working in an office. I've been working from home since April of 2018 for Octopus Deploy.
