Rebuilding the homelab.

So now that we're settled again,things at work and here at home have quieted down a bit I've decided to begin rebuilding my homelab/stack.. this time using more Docker.

I was able to upgrade one of the kids rigs for X-mas so I have the old box, an HP Z400 workstation. It's got an older Xeon and I scrounged up 32 gigs of DDR3 and mirrored a pair of 500gb Sata WB Blues. 
Installed Vsphere 6.5 last weekend and this weekend I'll be setting up the docker host and possibly a few of the first containers.

So the plan for far is the following:

Portainer (because duh)
librenms
Ubuntu (or something with bash to upload images to Wunderground)
Plex (if I can find a suitable replacement for my dead NAS)
Guacamole


Provided I can replace the NAS I'll roll couchpotato and radarr, also thinking about a web server to provide remote access to my networked camera.. still unsure on that one.

All of this being built on top of Vsphere 6.5 because it's the best hypervisor out there. (KVM/QEMU still get some love tho)
