Last year I got a good deal on an HP DL380 G7 and equipped it with a bunch of ram and HDDs and threw Unraid onto it, but I just didn't utilize the hardware as much as I could. I was hosting my bitwarden and nextcloud instances but soon took them down after seeing the server logs of everything snooping on them. Now the server has been down for about a month and I'm not sure on what I want to do with it, especially with the lockdowns. May just turn it into filestorage but I feel like the server is VERY overkill for that sort of application, even if I did do plex too. I did get the lower power dual Xeons and the server only pulls down like 80w on idle but still. Any ideas on the networking side? I was using SWAG for cert management and Cloudlfare for my DNS stuff but not sure what else I could do to harden it just in case.

No reason why you couldn't get to tinkering with old off lease PCs but there are a host of good servers you could get for pretty cheap. Power efficiency obviously will be a bigger compromise but many 5-7 year old servers can be had for under $300. I've used Labgopher to hunt stuff down before.

I've got 3 Raspberry Pi 2s right now, one is serving as a print server for my house and Retroarch but the other two I'm not sure of what to do with. I've already got a file server and don't think these work well for storage anyways. I'd like to possibly use them as a home project for Kubernetes and Docker stuff but was curious what sort of uses people have gotten out of their older ones.

Should have said I have done a PiHole but it got annoying to manage as it would seemingly break random apps or sites for people. I love the project but didn't like how fragile it seemingly made my network for everyone else lol
