Hey all, been wanting to get into self hosting for a while. I won’t be doing a whole lot - probably just a Plex server and photo/video archives.

Maybe a personal assistant if I get really bored, lol.

At work, I’ve got a selected of taking either:

  • HP Prodesk 400 G4 - i5 7th Gen

OR

  • Dell Optiplex 7020
  • Dell Optiplex 3010
  • Dell Optiplex 3040 All Intel i5

Let me know if they’re all shit too, lol.

Many thanks

    How would I connect to the same network from so far away? Is that impossible?

    If I want to connect from far away, would a simple NordVPN do the trick?

      Run a VPN server on your system and expose that. Then connect to it with the VPN client on the remote system.
