Question for my system engineers:

What's better for a home lab

  1. One application per VM
  2. Couple applications per VM
  3. All applications on one VM

I got around 6-7 applications that run on my server

@congames007 I'd go with separation of concerns. If it's entirely separate, keep it on a different VM. if they're not, then combining them is fine.

@fuzzysteve @congames007 This.

Also I have a pretty handy rule of thumb test for it: If I were to do a restore from backup or migrate the VM to a different machine, would I want the services in question to all be affected equally? If not, split them until the answer is yes.

Some upsides for joining:

  • Encapsulated storage/network access.
  • Shared network profile (segmentation etc).
  • Common needs on backup and storage medium & configuration.
