  Depending on what services you want to give access with, I have had great luck with an ultra cheap VPS

  lowendbox.com/blog/1-vps-1-usd-vps-per-month/

  Then I host my edge services on a container and use an ssh tunnel to the remote host which gives me an ipv4 and any port forward that I want.

  For example I have my reverse proxy inside my network and my VPN server then I use a command like:

  ssh -R 8080:localhost:80 public.example.com

  Which would forward publicip:8080 to localhost:80

  Read more here: www.ssh.com/academy/ssh/tunneling-example.

  I use autossh to keep the tunnel alive at all times.

  This is an ultra cheap way to get any ports you want and self host the whole thing. The remote VPS also doesn’t get any extra access to your local network and doesn’t initiate the connection so it doesn’t have credentials for your local network

  But if you don’t already have lifetime and are paying monthly or annually then that price is also almost doubling

  If you go with your option A, you could virtualize the windows install and run it inside of the truenas or other os using qemu.

  You would still need to have enough drives for a new array, but that was always going to be the situation

  Proxmox backup server is my jam, great first party deduplicated incremental backups. You can also spin up more than 1 and sync between them

  Ha indeed, every room in the house is getting 2 faceplates (on roughly opposite sides of the room) with 4 Ethernet that runs each back to the server rack. Is every room having 8 runs right back to the switch excessive, you bet.

  In my old place I had one faceplate with 2 ethernet, coax and phone to each room, but phone and coax is useless and I didn’t have enough Ethernet.

  The access to the crawlspace isn’t great so the CrapRack ^tm^ had to be assembled in the crawlspace.

  I agree with this, though I think a lot of people don’t differentiate between operating system containers like LXC provides and application containers like docker provides.

  I think it’s more like “work though school to avoid loans”
