Comment on Amount of RJ45 Ports on Home Server?

Unless you’re planning on virtualizing your router on the server (think OPNsense VM or something) then really only one ethernet port is required. Otherwise the sky is the limit. For example, mine has a 1 Gbps port, a 2.5gbps port, and two 10 Gbps ports.
Depends on what you want/need and whether you want to future proof I guess.

So really just one port to connect the server to the router for everyone to have access is what I’m understanding? So then that leaves me with one extra to use with an ePOE hub to then add all my cameras to.

Yah if all you want is for your server to get internet and have it accessible on your LAN, one port is all you need.

Perfect, thank you.
