    I recently bought a server off of a friend and have been working on turning that into the homeserver of my dreams. It came with Windows Server 2012 and decided to use Hyper-V and docker for most things I need. So far I have the following setup on it:

    • Webserver via IIS for a portal to make accessing my various services easier. Just wrote it in plain HTML/CSS and will probably just never stop tinkering with it.
    • Emby for streaming media (mostly just movies and tv shows)
    • File sharing server via the built-in functionality on Win server. This is really the primary reason for the server as I like to hoard data that's meaningful to me. Lots of pictures, docs, old work files, etc.
    • PiHole for adblocking and privacy at the network level.
    • mindmaps for ..well mind maps. I haven't gotten around to trying mind mapping yet, but it looked interesting and I needed something to test docker out on the server, so this was what I went with.

    If anyone has any suggestions of other fun things to throw in this baby, let me know. Always down to try new things. I'm trying to avoid making any part of the server public-facing, because I'm not nearly experienced enough to harden everything enough to make that safe. I don't ever leave the house though, so I think that's fine :D
