    Jun 21, 2016 · 3 min read  · vmware · esxi · powercli · homelab ·
    Share on:

    I’m commencing a project with my HomeLab- I’m going to build a system whereby I can produce custom mini-lab environments by means of a script.

    ESXi Host Web Client

    A few days ago I tweeted about managing my ESXi HomeLab from the Xbox.

    Share on:

    I wanted to be able to connect to my new home lab from off-premises (that’s a technical way of saying “when I’m not at home”).
