How to get Guest VM to be accessible by other devices? - Lemmy.World
Hello. I wanted to know if it was possible to get a VMWare guest VM that’s
acting as my self-hosted streaming server to be accessible by other devices
outside my host pc? I know it would be able to if I just set it to a bridged
network connection, but I also want it to strictly only have access to the
internet through my host pc that would also be using a VPN, which is why I want
to leave it on NAT. Basically, I want all my local network devices on my router
to be able to access a guest VM on my PC that is only able to access the
internet through the host PC. I’m using VMWare workstation Pro, with an Ubuntu
guest VM that has Jellyfin, Plex, Jackett, and etc. for streaming media.

Need advice for a newbie on building a homelab - Lemmy.world
I’m pretty much new to all things homelab as I’ve only started looking into it
because of my job. I’m relatively new to my position (first job I got after
getting my degree), so I wanted to learn more about virtualization and other
related tools that could help me. I want to practice using VMs and such. VMware
vCenter, ESXi, PowershellCLI, Microsoft Windows Servers, RHEL, and others. And
while my work does provide me a remote production environment for these, it’s
not always available to me. A lot of other people work on them and I can’t
really just go in and start messing around. So I’ve been looking into getting a
homelab setup for myself. I’m just not really sure what I should be going for,
though. Do I get a Dell Poweredge Rxx0? I do have a PC of my own that I’ve been
using with Hyper-V and VMware Workstation to create VMs of what I mentioned, but
I dunno if I should just get a dedicated server or not? Should I just upgrade my
RAM and add in some SSDs on my PC and would that work fine for me?
