Sqlserver (alien.top)

Hello! I have a sql server (express) running on the cloud which Id like to move onto my homelab to reduce expenses. I know sql server express is free to use but would i have to buy a windows server license? If so, price varies based on the vcpus i assign to it?

Thanks!

SQL server express is available even for Linux so that might be an interesting homelab setup.

Otherwise you can use a trial license for (any) windows client or server to run SQL Express. This of course implies that you dont run any commercial stuff, but you posted in homelab
