Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

This all happened two weeks before I started, so I don't know the exact details. If it was set up the way I think it was, I'd say yes, the DC was in it's own VM and then a separate VM would've been used as a NAS. Of course being hardware RAID the whole host server went down when that card failed.
They probably didn't have a second DC set up due to the DEFCON 5 levels of "We can't work!"
They were ultimately planning on going to the cloud anyway from what I heard and that catastrophe just accelerated that plan ahead
