I’ve been running my #TrueNAS #homelab for six months now. And as I’m moving more services to it, I need to make sure I also can restore my Docker containers if the server should crash.

Is getting a SFF box like one of the ThinkCentre M7xx/M9xx and restore there a good way to do that exercise?

@anders @selfhost sounds like a very good cheap choice for a lab box! I currently run 5 Minecraft servers, my NAS, media server, etc. off a similar box (HP Elite desk with a 4th gen i5) and mostly I'm limited by memory capacity more than anything
