No one is my day to day social circle appreciates this so I thought I'd share it here.

A few months ago I needed a new host platform to run my Plex Media Server from. Someone was kind enough to point me in the direction of TrueNAS: Scale & after a few restarts I finally got it running in a stable arrangement. I've now been running Plex without interruptions or hiccups for over a month straight & could not be happier. 

I recently brought home a retired HPE DL380 G7 from work. We are expanding & moving into SME IT Support & as such I need to learn how to use the Windows Server environment properly.  What better way that spending more time playing with TrueNAS? I've decided a second Scale environment on enterprise hardware that can actually support virtualisation (TrueNAS1 is a desktop PC 😖 ) is the name of this game. 

I'm gonna spin up this DL380, configure Server 2022 as a VM, probably migrate Plex across to it somewhere in the future & play around however much I feel like. 

Wish me luck!

PS: Ignore the cable mess in the background, once I have everything in my rack I will clean it all up. 

PPS: I know less than nothing on this subject. Before now I've been a simple PC tech & phone repairer. I feel like I've found a deep section, tied my concrete shoes on & jumped.
