Using a discarded laptop, set up a Proxmox server to host future/related projects for my home lab. Currently have managed to maintain an uptime of over 95% with the last outage being 6 months ago at the time of writing due to rearranging my lab setup physically. During the setup I learned remote management via SSH and web GUIs as well as creating virtual machines on a low power home server.
This project was completed in February 2022 and is still in use.
