[Question] If you want to have two environments (lets call it Sandbox and Production), and you want to have a NAS in Production (Terramaster, Ugreen, etc), what do you put in your Sandbox environment? (lemmy.world)

I am trying to plan my home lab to satisfy two different needs:

  1. I want a stable environment where I will put a relatively expensive NAS and maybe some other Zima boards.
  2. I also want to try new versions and configurations in an env where I can break stuff BEFORE trying things on my Production environment. I would also like to use that environment to try other things like playing with Kubernetes, Docker, Iceberg, etc. I am a backend software engineer so this is very useful to me. Besides being fun.

So, I am just trying to gather ideas on how to configure this both in terms of software and hardware.

Oh... That sounds risky!

But, with no experience doing it, I may be missing something.

Have you had no issues with this approach?

No issues and it's something I've done for a long time but it is adding extra overhead for a problem that using docker has largely solved for me re stable environments.
