Top Server Builds: 10 Virtual Machines you need in your Homelab

So you got a #homelab? You want to know what Virtual Machines you should be building?
If you work in tech or want to learn more about tech, then building VM's is the best thing that you can do! We'll cover 10 things to do with Virtual Machines.
I love building servers within my #homelab, and the great thing is that you can set this up on most computers you have running on my #homelab!!

SERVER IDEAS
1) File Server / NAS (TrueNAS)
2) Firewall / Proxy (pfSense - Proxy servers act as a bridge between a host server and a client server. A proxy sends data from a website to your computer IP address after it passes through the proxy's server)
3) Domain Controller / Active Directory
4) DNS
5) Monitoring and Management Server / End Point Protection (PRTG, Zabbix)
6) DHCP
7) Web Server (Wordpress, PHP, Apache)
8) Database Server (MySQL, Microsoft SQL)
9) Media Server
10) Mail Server (Exchange)

VMs has been a game changer for everyone. From many of us learning at home to enterprises that purchase expensive equipment and want to maximize. Thank you for this video!

I'm gonna try all of these. One by one. I have my Sec+ cert and need to get a step ahead so I'm building my HomeLab and then going to implement all of this. Thank you!

The only thing that I see useful in setting up for the home/private network are: file/NAS, firewall/proxy, media server, and hosting docker containers (using ProxMox?) to run server apps like CRM on private network. For Web/DNS/database/mail servers, it's easier going with third party web hosting companies to minimize all of the headaches in setting up these type of servers. I have successfully done web/DNS/mail/database server setup in the past however it's a lot of work. Setting up private mail server sounds great in theory but in practice, its not viable because need to build reputable email server that Google would recognize and not treat all of emails as spam/junk.

what RAM size you recommend to make vm's run smooth? Thank you for this great video.

Why did you choose PRTG or Zabbix over Wazuh?

first, i'm going to do pfsense...
