For the past five years, I’ve done all of my software development in virtual machines (VMs). Each of my projects gets a dedicated VM, sparing me the headache of dependency conflicts and TCP port collisions.
Three years ago, I took things to the next level by building my own homelab server to host all of my VMs. It’s been a fantastic investment, as it sped up numerous dev tasks and improved reliability.
In the past few months, I began hitting the limits of my VM server. My projects have become more resource-hungry, and mistakes I’d made in my first build were coming back to bite me. I decided to build a brand new homelab VM server for 2020.
