I am currently thinking about building a server to suit all my needs, initially was planning 2 but to keep cost down I am thinking 1 might be an acceptable option. Obviously I would not be running a low speed processor but 2 of the VMs should need little horsepower (Sophos and NAS) and Plex will only use up horsepower when transcoding which likely will not be often.
Server will run 2 maybe 3 VMs
VM1 Sophos Home UTM
VM2 Plex
VM3 NAS
Host OS would be a Linux distro.
Would this be a bad idea? Would I see performance issues? And what about reboot times? As my home internet would be going through the UTM when that VM is down I have no network.
Also I assume I can give the Sophos VM 2 NICs on the host OS exclusive use.
