Afternoon all,

I am in the process of building my own white box ESXi server and I'm planning on running a few VMs.

This is the build so far

  • Intel Xeon E3-1240 v5 3.50 GHz Socket LGA1151 8MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
  • Gigabyte X150M-PRO ECC Motherboard (Socket 1151, Intel C232, DDR4, S-ATA 600, Micro ATX)
  • Kingston ValueRAM DDR4 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DIMM CL15 Unbuffered ECC Memory
  • MSI GT 710 1GD3H LP NVIDIA GeForce GT 710
  • Fractal Design Define Mini Series Micro ATX Case
  • Samsung evo 250gb SSD (To store VMs)
Already have 4x 3tb WD Red drives and a 430w PSU.

I'm looking at running the following servers, I'm kind of new to Linux but from what I have been looking at I'm thinking of going with Centos as my main server distro.

Plex server
File server
Unifi controller server
Steam Server
Openvpn server
Server 2012 R2 domain

Just curious to know what everyone else has on the Linux servers these days.

Cheers

Nice setup! I see a lot of people using dockers these days instead of VMs, will have to do some research on them. Are you running your setup on Unraid?

Heard lots of good things about Unraid, might have to give it a go over ESXi. How easy is it pooling drives together? The one downside to using ESXi is i don't have a hardware raid controller to pool all my drives together.
