    So I am cobbling together another server with dual xeons, bit of ram and a couple of TB drives, nothing flash, but I have no idea what to use it for!

    I currently have my main dual xeon server running Unraid and this does everything like Plex hosting and file storage and is connected to my seedbox so all good there. It also runs a couple of VMs, VPN, pihole etc etc

    I have a second box that I am turning into a Pfsense box so thats taken care of there.

    So what to do with this third box? I have chucked ESXI on it and had a play and also had a play with proxmox but I dont really need a VM machine. Thought about a minecraft server but.. I dont play minecraft so thats a waste.

    My coding experience is zero btw but I am thinking of trying to learn something. I know this is a very open ended question but I am hoping a suggestion might spark an interest in something!

    Are there any other services you want to set up at home, such as home assistant or nextcloud?
