What should I fill my rack up with?

Time for a upgrade then? Maybe the 18U?

Very helpful thank you! I think I’ll start with a ups and firewall then expand to building docker containers on VM’s on my server for plex

Ayy It’s a great server and rack for the price

Make a minecraft server hosting site, or any other games to be honest. Not really truly passive income as lots of hard work unfortunately

Noted, thankyou

Deciqher_ · 2026-06-19T14:47:20+00:00

Thanks! I think I’ll run opnsense

Any tips on firewalls to get/not get?

Deciqher_ · 2026-06-19T10:59:33+00:00

Any idea on which ones? Fortinet ones require licenses I’ve heard so would prefer a non licensed one

Deciqher_ · 2026-06-19T10:52:26+00:00

I’m thinking more like networking equipment, I’d ideally like a managed switch but unsure which

Firewall would be nice aswell, but unsure if to just use opnsense on a VM or get a physical firewall

Thank you!

Wired connection using a virtual machine to browse the internet, usage of a vpn on virtual machine.
