IIRC docker on Windows lives inside WSL, so everything is done on Linux anyway. What's the issues you're getting?

The typical way involves something outside your network acting as a proxy. Your home network VPNs to this proxy, then the proxy sends requests down to your homelab.

I used a VPS and a VPN, I would connect to the VPN endpoint on the VPS, and then route all traffic back down to home.

You can also run a reverse proxy on the VPS, so it does TLS for clients, and speaks to the servers direct over the VPN.

Another option is things like Cloudflare tunnels, which means cloudflare does the "VPS and VPN" part of the above, but the tradeoff is that your have to trust cloudflare, rather than yourself (may be a positive or not depending on your perspective).

Lastly you could use something like tinc (which needs something on the outside to act as a negotiator) to form a mesh between NAT'd devices.

There's mt32-pi, a baremetal app that emulates the classic MT-32 MIDI synthesizer.

For better or worse, the Pi (2+) seems to be the only SBC with a video output that can do 240P or other funky CRT resolutions (the DPI interface on the GPIO).

I've got three of these, pity the batteries leak THROUGH the wires and end up corroding stuff on the board.

Fun little novelties but not very practical do do anything with these days. Maybe I'll write a small program to turn it into a keyboard...

Not quite, I have to go through out of box, and then join it to the domain, but then yes!

Applies security policy, install apps, disables bloat, login in with central username and pass, get mapped drives etc

There is a db migration command that I used to do the same thing, was pretty painless, just needed to run that and then update the config iirc

Just a point of clarification: Don't use RAID 5 for more than 2-4 TB. The rebuild takes so long that the mean-time-between read errors statistic basically guarantees a read error while rebuilding, which may cause the controller to trash the array.

That and rebuilding that much data might push one of the drives over the edge anyway.
