It's not my ideal situation, but pandemic relocation etc means I'm not next to my normal lab (two ESX servers + NAS).
So, that said, yes, server (whitebox) plus desktop (xeon, 32gb) - both running Debian, with Consul, Nomad, Traefik, promtail etc running on both, but no shared NFS between the two, so I've got constraints on most of the important stuff to run on the server (prometheus, cortex, loki, nodered). In practice, desktop is running 24/7, just it occasionally gets a reboot.
Having consul/nomad running as server-client on two machines is undeniably weird, and requires some careful consideration around bootstrap_expect= settings.
Almost all of this is around having a useful facsimile of my work environment, rather than (say) running an SSG public site.
