Home Labbing

I work in IT and was looking on doing home labbing. Home labbing is a way to build your own server with VMs or Docker containers to run OS or Apps. I have started years ago making my own NAS box with OpenMediaVault. I use it to store my media files like my ripped CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Rays as well as my documents, music, pictures and software. I want to expand to other services like a PiHole or home automation.
