    I'm selling all my gear, and whatever I deem unneeded and starting fresh. Thanks for the price tag on your build AllanM. I'm Canadian so $3-4g doesn't exactly translate into the same Canadian. I'm going to develop a game plan then. Selling all my gaming gear should fetch me about 6-10 grand...

    Plan C Put together a battle ready eBay RIG with CEPH (instead of ZFS) if I understand you correctly?

    [SOLVED] Requesting Best Practices and Guidance

    ==Problem== Problem: I cannot understand the correct method to securely route traffic from a domain on public ip (reverse-proxy for example) to individual containers or vms.
